Go sledging on Parliament Hill

Your author took a walk on Hampstead Heath yesterday, and wandered up to Parliament Hill, where the sledgers were out in force. Many were making do with tea trays and even road signs to slide down the hill, during an excellent dump of sledging snow.


The main sledging run has already been compacted to a sheet of ice, but was holding up well despite thousands of people making use of it. There are also fantastic views to a snowy central London.
