This morning I ran for 9 miles to Victoria Park and back. My route took me south through Newington Green, on the west side of which London's oldest surviving terrace of houses stands. They're dated 1658.
On the south side of Newington Green, Henry VIII had a hunting lodge, which he and the royal parties used as a base for forays into the surrounding woods and forest to hunt stags and wild boar.
It's quite a bit different now.
From there I ran south through de Beauvoir Town to Regents Canal, turned left and ran along the towpath to Victoria Park, which I looped before heading home.
I'm quite pleased I managed to squeeze a picture of HenryVIII into a blog about marathon running.
