I've not been there yet.
I go past it on the bus (when I don't fall out of it) and it looks a little scary. I'm trying to drag FHSP out to the lido at the Serpentine, but she's having none of it.

Oh, it's quite nice to walk round.
Not London's finest park, but pleasant enough.

My first visit was tarnished slightly as I sat by the pond and observed the family sat on the opposite bank, as the small children wandered curiously near the pond and their ghastly angry manatee of a mother repeatedly yelled at them to "GERRAWAY FROM THE FAKKIN' WA'ER! I WON'T FAKKIN' TELL YOU AGAIN! ROAR! WOBBLE! ROAR! ANGRYCHAVJIGGLE! ROAR!*"

Oh, I might check that out in a couple of weeks.
And hopefully September will come through with some nice weather.

Are there ducks?!

There are.
Ducks make everything better. (Especially when the problem is an absence of ducks)

For the best selection of waterfowl, and, indeed myriad crows, however, I recommend going to St James' Park.

Aren't they scared off by the footballers?
Or are we talking about a different one?

But Burgess is walking distance
I might have some park based shenanigans for my birthday. Or Soho Square based ones.
Oh excellent, actual birthday is on a Candybox night. Sounds like fun.
