PEDAL POWER

London got a whole lot more jolly when former Mayor Boris Johnson introduced a bicycle scheme to the city. There are miles and miles of cycling routes, so whether it’s a trip along the river or a journey through the Royal Parks that you’re after, or you simply fancy cycling to your favourite department store, consider it a must-do.

PARK LIFE

Richmond Park is one of the wildest parks in Britain. King Henry VIII used to hunt there and the deer still wander this south-west London wilderness. See if you can find the Royal Ballet School, tucked up a long avenue of trees in the very centre of the park, or why not let us book you a horse riding lesson?
