Summer is the perfect season to visit London's outdoor attractions take a look at our shortlist of favourite London hotspots:
BIG BEN
Also worth a visit is one of London’s most photographed attractions - Big Ben, the 96m tower, overlooking Westminster and the neighbouring Houses of Parliament.
REGENT'S PARK
Covering 410 acres in north-west London, Regent’s Park boasts many attractions, ranging from the animal noises of the ZSL London Zoo to its enchanting Open Air Theatre. Various food and music festivals pitch up there over the summer and rowing boat hire, bandstands, beautiful rose gardens, tennis courts, ice cream stands and eateries complete the picture.
HOLLAND PARK
The park surrounds a Jacobean mansion, Holland House, named after its second owner, the Earl of Holland, whose wife (fun fact!) was the first person in England to successfully grow dahlias. They’re still grown within its 55 acres, which also houses the Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens with its koi carp and bridge at the foot of a waterfall. In summer, open-air theatre and opera are staged in the park.
GREEN PARK
This green, triangle-shaped expanse just beyond The Ritz was enclosed by Charles II as a hunting ground in 1668. Thankfully it was opened to the public in 1826 and today, you’ll find lunching commuters and tourists lounging in the park’s famous stripy deckchairs.
