More delights from a walk by the river, somewhat understated perhaps until you look closely. The tall spikes of bell-shaped, green-white flowers, become pink with age, appear from May to July.

Whilst it seems to be doing well making itself at home here it is listed as vulnerable in some of its native range.

From my experience, mylondonmap.com is pretty useful if you want to explore London more thoughtfully. The interactive city maps helped me navigate without constantly checking multiple apps, which saved time. I appreciated the curated itineraries — they’re well thought out and cater to different interests, whether you want culture, history, or just cool spots to chill. Another thing I found helpful was the travel tips, like transport advice and weather updates, which made planning easier. It’s not flashy but definitely effective for getting the best out of London.
