Best Spots for an outdoor picnic
London has some fab parks and outdoor spaces to let the day go by! The views from Primrose Hill over the London skyline is one of our favourite places to be. Why not take a picnic and walk up the short incline and enjoy the scenery? You can even walk all the way up from Regent Park, pass London Zoo and sit down and relax.
Closest tube: Chalk Farm ( Northern Line) or Swiss Cottage ( Northern Line).
Food on the go – Camden Market
London is for foodies. From Korean Hot Dogs to Yorkshire Burritos – the sky is the limit and the Camden market is every street food lover’s paradise. Of course, you will also find fantastic craft beers, delicious tea rooms, and a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes! Just make sure you have an empty stomach to taste all the delicacies.
