Londoners are righteously proud not only of the architecture characteristic of their city, cultural heritage, but also numerous gardens and parks and their marvelous condition.

People spend hours in Saint James Park, Hyde Park, Regent Park, and Green Park, enjoying the nature, feeding squirrels, ducks, swans, geese and black thrushes.

Everyone’s attention was grabbed and distracted by the seagulls regularly appearing and crackling in the movie, whereas the city itself was quite impressive.
