When the weather gets good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are few places with more to offer than London. Some spring activities to enjoy in the city are:
1. Markets:
The are a number of markets to enjoy in London. Portobello market in Notting Hill is known for its vintage clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], furniture and art. The colourfully painted houses of this West London street are a backdrop to the merchants that fill the road selling pearls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prints or antique spoons. Visitors can enjoy a coffee or Hummingbird cupcake as they stroll through the stands to find one-of-a-kind goods. Borough market located on the south bank of the city is the best place to eat in London on the weekend. Farmers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], butchers and fishmongers from outside of London all come in to the city every weekend with their produce. Visitors can hop from stand to stand sampling all of the delicious ingredients available and make their weekly shops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prepare for a dinner party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or just fill their bellies.
2. Parks:
One of the best features about an urban jungle like London,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is that it actually has lots of green space. Hyde Park is located in the centre of the city's west end and goes on for miles. Then there's Regent's park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Saint James Park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Green Park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Holland Park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Embankment gardens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Victoria Tower gardens and so many more. Parks are the perfect spring/summer escape for busy Londoners who spend most of their time cooped up indoors.
3. Balloon rides:
What better way to enjoy a spring day than flying over a gorgeous city like London in a hot air balloon? There are a number of hot air balloon companies based out of the counties who offer hot air balloon rides in London. Soar over the city's most famous buildings and explore it in a way you never have.
4. Galleries:
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spending time in galleries means being indoors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when hoping from one to the other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is plenty of time to spend outside. London is home to some of the most wonderful art galleries in the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the trouble is it rains and is grey so much of the year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and we often lose the incentive to go. But when the sun is shining and we're outside walking around anyway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], why not pop in to see what's going on in your favourite galleries? After the exhibition you can enjoy a drink in the beautiful courtyards outside so many famous London art institutions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like the Victoria and Albert.
How will you spend your next Spring Saturday?
