When I first started my Masters here at Imperial, I loved the South Kensington campus. The tall periodic buildings that surrounded it, the open lawn and copious activities within the campus – it all looked great. When I realised that this wasn’t my main campus, but Paddington was, I was a tad disappointed. As nice as Paddington is, it didn’t have the same elegant feel as South-Ken.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I’ve grown to love my campus and appreciate all it’s little treasures,\u00a0so I’ve decided to give a brief guide on things you can do if you ever find yourself on this campus!<\/p>\n

1. Take a boat ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a river that runs straight through the campus, a boat ride is a nice pass-time, especially in the summer!<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Admire the view<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many bridges on this campus where you can simply stand and admire the view – (especially if you like tall buildings and murky rivers!)<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Relax in Norfolk Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

This beautiful park is 5 minutes away from the campus. It’s a great spot to chill-out, and even have a game of giant chess!<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Somewhere nice to eat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look out for Bonne Bouche!\u00a0Not only does it have a wide variety of delicious sweet treats, but there are baguettes, pies and other hot food as well, making one of our favorite places to eat right outside of Paddington campus.<\/em><\/p>\n

So if you’re a new student who will be based here next year, or you just want to check out Paddington – take a look at some of these places, and I’m sure you’ll find some hidden gems of your own \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
