Due to my alighting from the wrong tube station, I made an unplanned walk through Hyde Park yesterday. Deciding I had the time and more than enough inclination to walk across the park to Mayfair, I found myself passing the newly restored Serpentine Bar & Restaurant overlooking the Serpentine Lake, where the intrepid Serpentine Swimmers brave the cold water & dodge duck poo.The restaurant was designed by the modernist architect Patrick Gwynne in 1964. It's a building I've always loved, with it's Japaneseque tent like roof appearing to hover like a bird's outstreached wings.
So beautiful Mary!
ReplyDeleteThese are like colour b/w photographs, it that makes sense at all...
I would love to sit at that chair looking over the water, only it might be quite cold though?
haven't been there in a long time. it looks gorgeous now!
ReplyDeleteThe third and fourth photos are so engaging, they suck you right into the place! And in the third photo that bit of roof suddenly brought to mind a nun's wimple.
