There are usually a lot of ducks and geese in the lake nearby in the park, but not in the garden itself.  The garden is much appreciated by us urbanites.

I have eaten there in London and on the freeway in France, and at Burger King in Copenhagen.  I think it's worth doing if you have time.  It's a bit different.

When I used to travel for work, I spent a long time at my destinations.  I did 3 months in France, 3 months in Belgium, a couple months in Sicily, a couple months in the Netherlands, a couple months in Germany.

And each time, after about 3-4 weeks of focusing on the local food, invariably I'd find myself hitting McDonald's around once per week.  That's when I discovered that in France, in the drive-thru, they'd let me order a Happy Meal and substitute in a beer instead of the soft drink.

"Un Happy Meal avec biere s'il vous plait."
