Regent's Park (officially The Regent's Park) is one of the Royal Parks of London. It lies within north-west London, partly in the City of Westminster and partly in the London Borough of Camden.[1] The population of the Camden ward at the 2011 Census was 13,528.[2] It contains Regent's University London and the London Zoo.

I did not go around to an unlocked gate to find out if the trees are real or concrete.
They look fun to climb on,
One of the attractions of the Regent's Park in the summer is that it has an outdoor theatre. Last year they were doing Peter Pan. We don't know what is playing this summer but we are aware that
you have to purchase the tickets several days or weeks in advance. If it is pouring rain on the night you have tickets, you are just out of luck.

On to Euston Station where we added money/travel time to our Oyster cards.

All you want to know about why the transportation ticket is called an Oyster card:
The Oyster name was agreed on after a lengthy period of research managed by TranSys and agreed by TfL. Two other names were considered[11] and "Oyster" was chosen as a fresh approach that was not directly linked to transport, ticketing or London. Other proposed names were "Pulse" and "Gem". According to Andrew McCrum, now of Appella brand name consultants, who was brought in to find a name by Saatchi and Saatchi Design (contracted by TranSys), Oyster was conceived and promoted because of the metaphorical implications of security and value in the component meanings of the hard bivalve shell and the concealed pearl, the association of London and the River Thames with oysters, and the well-known travel-related idiom "the world is your oyster".
The intellectual property rights to the Oyster brand originally belonged to TranSys. Following the renegotiation of the operating contract in 2008, TfL sought to retain the right to use the Oyster brand after the termination of its partnership with Transys,[10][12] eventually acquiring the rights to the brand in 2010 at a cost of £1 million.[13]
Thank you, Wikipedia.
I have been the one who has suggested several times that we go to "that Indian restaurant the serves only vegetables." The Professor unerringly led us to the Diwana restaurant on Drummond Street close to Euston Station.

The food displays are gorgeous and some of the vegetables are flavored with spices other than curry. But I think I have had my vegetarian Indian food for this trip. I'll stick to Khan's chicken and Bosphorus' Donner Kebab.
Torino Tomatoes shaped like the plum tomato that we are used to but much larger.
