Yesterday is the hottest summer day this year in London, so we decided to dive into the woods to keep it cool. The route we chose was London’s green chain walk, which contains about 11 sections. We chose Section 8, between Beckenham Place Park and Elmstead Wood, and the return journey is about 5 miles.

To avoid the heat in the afternoon, we setup off at 8am. The temperature was really nice. We’ve been this route a few times, so there is no map needed, especially there is always a very helpful green chain direction sign to shows up whenever you feel lost.
Even we've been there before, different seasons always looks different. In summer, it is just as its name suggested: Green. Sometimes it gives you a little surprise, like found a red poppy starring at you from the cracks in the paving or some unknown white flowering vine with pretty twines. All in all, it is a good way to be outdoor for half day during the weekend, and stay cool as well.
