Penguin's reading area

We're sure Regent's Park wasn't this enormous last time we were here. Then again, there probably weren't thousands of people lining every single square inch of it: not that London's a mercenary city (phar!) but we really, really love free stuff, so this free jaunt from smoothie maestros Innocent is right up our street. It's packed. Huge. Everywhere you look there's kids, off-duty city boys, hippies smoking weed, mates, couples, families, all lazing around and soaking up the sun. We've just spent the last hour wandering around. There's loads to do here, if you're prepared to queue. Just for starters there's face painting, yoga, wine tasting, flower arranging (don't laugh you) circus skills, knitting and the Penguin reading corner where you can borrow a book and have a sit down. It's like last weekend's Ben & Jerry Summer Sundae times ten. Er, we're a bit unnerved so we're going to grab a pasty from one of the stalls and have another look around. Sheesh, it's massive.
