BigCity WalkFun 🦜 Battersea Park 🚶 London {2023/4K}

🖥 Across the pond in jolly olde England, we'll enjoy a casual & compact exploration of historic Battersea Park in SW Central London, England, United Kingdom.
We'll walk bridge2bridge [Chelsea2Albert] along the Thames riverside promenade before experiencing a peace pagoda, expansive fountains, boating lake, parakeet encounters, famous artwork, tree-lined trails, ecological areas, youngster's playgrounds, children's zoo, Victorian bandstand, treetop climbing, cricket pitch and much more.

📹 Enjoy this chatter-free but forensically comprehensive vlog set to classical music ~ then please do consider that pesky but helpful Like/Share/Comment/Subscribe thing. ;-) Resistance is Futile.
Researched factoids are liberally sprinkled in so please pause as needed. Fortunately, all this overstuffed goodness means it can really shine on today's big screen smart TVs. Cast away.
