People don't usually come to London to relax but the beautiful oasis dotted around the city make it easy to unwind when you need to. Central London is famed for great parks, majestic courtyards and scenic locations. London's public areas are some of the most beautiful and tranquil in the world; whether you're hungry for a picnic, a good book or just a nice view. What better way to cut through the hustle and bustle of Central London than by escaping into a peaceful park or square? Together, we'll run through some of the best calming green parks London has to offer.
Royal London Parks are great places to immerse yourself in greenery and nature. All our London hotels are just minutes from the Central London parks. Feed the ducks as music drifts over from the bandstand at St James's Park; borrow a peddle-boat and float around on the Serpentine Lake in London Hyde Park; snack at one of the cafés on Regent's Park Road before heading up Primrose Hill to admire the view; meet the many water birds on the lake in Battersea Park and check-out the famous sculpture by Henry Moore. Finally, the Kyoto Garden in London Holland Park will show you a beautiful example of Japanese landscaping, radiating peace and harmony.
London is famously described as "a city of garden squares" and it lives up to its reputation. Wherever you are in Central London, you are guaranteed to be close to a serene square or courtyard of some kind. One of the major public courtyards is Russell Square in Camden with its impressive fountain and café. If you're feeling tired from shopping at London Oxford Street, pause in nearby Soho Square. Lincoln's Inn Fields is another great London square, close to Covent Garden. If you're looking for a smaller, more personal space, drop into Postman's Park near St Botolph's Church and pay your respects to the 19th Century Watts Memorial of Heroic Deeds. When you need a break from the museums in Kensington, try the John Madejski Garden at the Victoria and Albert Museum with its fantastic Italian courtyard and lemon trees. Lastly, the courtyard at Somerset House is a real London gem with its 18th century architecture and fountains.
