  1. Take a walk in the parks

If you’re looking for outdoor activities to enjoy with your loved ones, then why not take a crisp stroll this festive season. With so many beautiful parks and gardens in the city, you really are spoilt for choice. Head to Regent’s Park to explore the beautiful Japanese Garden Island, go to Hyde Park to see the Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, or St James’ Park to visit the famous Buckingham Palace.

  1. Explore the museums

Many of the iconic London museums are open after lockdown – and are a great place to spend a winter afternoon. If you need activities to do with the kids, head to the Natural History Museum where you can learn about dinosaurs, space, nature’s giants and more! Or, if you’re heading out with your partner, the V&A museum is packed full of amazing exhibits, including iconic fashion, art and paintings.

  1. Visit the famous landmarks

Want to venture out the house, but stay outdoors? Then you could plan a walking tour of the city to see some of the most famous landmarks. Whether you want to marvel at Big Ben, see the Houses of Parliament, explore the Tower of London or otherwise, you can do it all on foot. As some of the landmarks are far apart, it’s worth jotting down where you’d like to go beforehand and plotting a route to follow.
