Rogue Sycamore


Down in the south quadrant, where the path bifurcates: the one which has the cycle lane alongside it goes north east, towards Pub in the Park, Hackney Central, or London Fields Station, and the other goes towards the Open Air Swimming Pool, or the Tennis Courts, or the residential area that is called London Fields. In the V of the bifurcation is an attractive rogue sycamore. Roguish as it has asserted itself in between the Plane Galleons, which are the Queens of the park, the Text of the trees. The sycamores are the back-beat, the sub-text. Nobody planted the sycamores in London fields, they are all self-propagating. And young and slender, giving off a noli-me-tangere vibe of a beautiful tall child
