Septimus' Walk with Rezia through Regent's park

"Every one looked at the motor car. Septimus looked." (MDA 17) Septimus, Rezia, and Mrs. Dalloway hear the same explosion of a car's engine in Bond Street, while Mrs. Dalloway is buying flowers from Mulberry's shop. We are never sure why Rezia and Septimus came all the way to Bond Street. Perhaps they were whiling the time until their appointment with the doctor. Bond Street is quite off their way from Bloomsbury to Harley Street. Maybe Regent Street was an after thought for Rezia.

"She must take him way into some park." MDA, 18. Rezia decides to give Septimus some green space, and also to take him away from all the ogling eyes. So they head towards Regent's Park

They must have passed by Oxford Street, and seen Selfridge's, which opened in 1909. 

Selfridge's in June 2014. Behind the Hello Beautiful is a lovely chiming clock
which sounds exactly like Big Ben.

The Broadwalk, did not change much. 

"Lucrezia Warren Smith, sitting by her husband's side on a seat in Regents Park in the Broad Walk, looked up." MDA, 25 (When she heard the plane zoom by overhead)

"There they sat down under a tree." (MDA, 29)

"I am going to walk to the fountain and back, " she said (MDA, 26). Lucrezia says to her husband

                 "I am alone; I am alone! she cried, by the fountain in Regent's Park (Staring at the Indian and his cross)" MDA, 28

At a quarter to twelve, they cross paths with Peter Walsh, who wonders what they are fighting about, and why they look so gloomy. Septimus thinks Peter is the ghost of Evans. (The dead man in the grey suit)

Or maybe in the 1920s, their bench looked more like this one? 

"...just opposite Regent's Park Tube station from a tall quivering shape, like a funnel...the ancient song bubbled up opposite Regent's Park Tube Station..." MDA, 94 and 95
