Hidden London: Trent Park. A Meditative Walk
A lovely walk on a spring day in Trent Park, London.
Trent Park covers a large area and you can find mixed woodland, a lake and a Japanese garden.
Trent Park is also the home of Trent Park House, a Grade II listed building that was used during World War II for counter spionage activities.
I condensed a two hour walk into less than four minutes. My walking companion was getting fed up with my constant stopping to capture moments on camera but I hope it was worth it, what do you think? Please let me know in the comments if you enjoyed this video. Have you ever been to Trent Park?
Talking of walking, did you know I wrote a book about walking? Here is the link: goo.gl/Q7Px07
Finally, if you'd like to find out more about what I do please check out my website energya.co.uk, thanks.

Ben Fogle's hidden London
Everyone who lives or works in and around the big city sometimes needs a break from crowded tube trains, hectic offices, busy pavements and packed cafés. All too often though we don't take the time to seek out oases in the city to relax and reflect - whether it's seeking out a romantic hideaway, tranquil retreat or simply somewhere to eat your lunch for half an hour in peace.
You wouldn't think it but there are more than 500 secluded idylls in London only a short walk from the hustle and bustle -- meaning virtually all workers in the capital are only five minutes away from a green space of some kind. Squares, gardens and heritage sites are dotted around the Capital -- oases to spend some well-earned 'me time' or mingle and relax with friends.
Summer is the ideal time of year to discover these secret spots, and as you start exploring you'll soon find they take on entirely new characters as we move through the seasons, providing ever-changing places of sanctuary from the hectic pace of modern life -- and with only one-in-six UK workers currently taking a regular lunch break, what better time to get back to nature!
In this video feature, Ben Fogle teams up with Nature Valley to take us on a journey in and around Holborn to discover the delights of several locations including Coram's Fields and Russell Square Gardens.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The River Thames ( (listen) TEMZ) is a river that flows through southern England including London. At 215 miles (346 km), it is the longest river entirely in England and the second longest in the United Kingdom, after the River Severn.
It flows through Oxford (where it is called the Isis), Reading, Henley-on-Thames and Windsor. The lower reaches of the river are called the Tideway, derived from its long tidal reach up to Teddington Lock. It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea via the Thames Estuary. The Thames drains the whole of Greater London.Its tidal section, reaching up to Teddington Lock, includes most of its London stretch and has a rise and fall of 23 feet (7 m). Running through some of the driest parts of mainland Britain and heavily abstracted for drinking water, the Thames' discharge is low considering its length and breadth: the Severn has a discharge almost twice as large on average despite having a smaller drainage basin. In Scotland, the Tay achieves more than double the Thames' average discharge from a drainage basin that is 60% smaller.
Along its course are 45 navigation locks with accompanying weirs. Its catchment area covers a large part of south-eastern and a small part of western England; the river is fed by at least 50 named tributaries. The river contains over 80 islands. With its waters varying from freshwater to almost seawater, the Thames supports a variety of wildlife and has a number of adjoining Sites of Special Scientific Interest, with the largest being in the remaining parts of the North Kent Marshes and covering 5,449 hectares (13,460 acres).
