Do you feel like getting away from it all? Escaping to London’s exciting sights and sounds is a great start, but how can you ensure your weekend away is as relaxing as it is memorable?
We’ve picked a few of our favourites to help you plan the perfect London weekend.
Greenwich Park
With one of the best views of the City of London you can find, this park is perfect for a quiet, relaxing picnic. You’ll feel the stress of the everyday melt away as you lose yourself in the sweeping parkland with beautiful views of the Thames.
If you’re looking for an adventure, why not take yourself to the Greenwich Observatory for a one-of-a-kind planetarium experience? Explore the possibilities of space travel, the planets and the stars in this otherworldly science museum located on the fringe of Greenwich Park.
South Bank
London’s South Bank is a great place to kick back and relax. If you’re looking for a drink, take a walk along the River Thames on the South Bank and choose your tipple from a variety of cool and characterful bars and restaurants. Perfect for sunset snapshot moments.
Want something more? The South Bank is a cultural hub brimming with some of the best theatres, cinemas and galleries in the country.
Harry Potter Platform 9 ¾
The perfect place to live out your childhood fantasies of finding yourself in the magical world of Harry Potter. Take yourself down to King’s Cross train station and pose at the iconic Platform 9 ¾ display. You know it – the one with the luggage trolley seemingly disappearing through the wall! Treat yourself and take a classic snapshot at this whimsical tribute to one of England’s biggest franchises.
Even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan, King’s Cross station is an impressive architectural wonder, surrounded by an exciting shopping experience to help you unwind on your London weekend break.
Sherlock Holmes Experience at Madame Tussauds
What to do when you’re in the mood for something a little different in London? Something cultural, but with a slightly sinister twist? Elementary, my dear Watson!
The world-famous wax museum Madame Tussauds has recently opened an exciting new walk-through adventure based on the trials and tribulations of Sherlock Holmes. Travel from Baker Street into the dark realms of Victorian London and keep your eyes peeled for clues and criminals.
A fantastic adventure – and a unique experience – for all amateur detectives out there, and great for inquisitive kids as well.
