Focus Week 2 - Restored Rectory Park - Greenford


At the heart of the area Northolt and Greenford Country Park now has four conical man made hills, built using recycled rubble and building materials. They mean the rest of the park is shielded from the nearby A40 sounds. These hills give an excellent vantage point, from where among other sights Canary Wharf and Wembley National Stadium can be seen on a clear day.

The country park has a number of lakes, which are frequented by Wildlife including swans, ducks, moorhens and geese. It has wetland areas to encourage other wildlife as well. Another shallower lake is designated as a model boating lake - with easy wading depth. The hills offer a natural shield to RF interference making this a great spot for model boating or flying model planes - more on this below.

There are a number of playing fields for football, three playgrounds for younger children, a skatepark and play areas for older children.

Walking towards Camley Street

On the Walk towards Camley street from kings Cross Rail, we noticed that there was some construction on the way.








The Large Land of construction was based on a Re-development programmes worth £2 Billion of infrastucture works.
There are many areas that are improving across kings cross, a few structures that will be developed are Offices, Residentials, Retail, Open Space, Energy, Transports, Arts & Culture and Heritage.

67 acres of brownfield development, creating 8 million sq ft of mixed use makes this the most significant opportunity in Central London. A new piece of the city with outline planning permission is already on-site. The first offices, homes and a university are expected in 2012.

The River Nile







The River Nile is about 6,670 km (4,160 miles) in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world. Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22% of the Nile’s course runs through that country.
For me the River Nile was one of the most important visits, as it shows the new contemporary Landscape along side the river. Similar to the River Thames

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities







This museum is the most popular one is Cairo, Here you can find plenty of Antiques and also the Famous Pharoah's Coffin and Cast Lays here, Tutankhamun
