Primrose hill
Primrose Hill is hands down one of London’s best spots for a view. Indulge in a hearty breakfast near Hyde Park and walk the zigzagging paths up the hill, to a panorama of the city.

So, if you’re looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some stunning views, all for free, Primrose Hill is the perfect spot for you.
Hyde Park
The largest of royal parks and an oasis of calm in the heart of London, Hyde Park, is a timeless classic. The site of many historic events, from suffragette speeches to Rolling Stones concerts, the park’s nickname, “The People’s Park,” is well-deserved.
Book yourself the perfect Hyde Park accommodation and enjoy your time by the serene Serpentine Lake. If you’re looking for something more active, you can even rent a rowboat on the lake, or go for a walk on one of the many paths that wind through the park. If you’re looking for a more peaceful setting, head to the north of the park, where you’ll find meadows and a ravishing rose garden. No visit to Hyde Park would be complete without a stop at Speaker’s Corner. It’s a designated area where anyone can stand and speak their mind, so you can explore that too, without spending a penny!
So, give the credit/debit card a break and experience some of the best of what London has to offer with your loved ones.
