As winter finally comes to an end and the vibrant colours of spring begin to bloom, it is the perfect time to plan a getaway to the bustling metropolis of London. With its iconic landmarks, rich history, and cultural diversity, the city offers endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, here’s your comprehensive guide to experiencing the perfect London break this Spring 2024.
Spring in London can only truly be enjoyed outdoors, with new flowers blossoming and lush greenery making its appearance after the bleaker winter landscape. So why not take advantage of the acres of green space and parkland that fill the city, Spring offers such a unique time to explore the city’s beautiful parks and gardens. From the world-renowned Kew Gardens to the serene tranquillity of Hyde Park, immerse yourself in nature and marvel at the stunning displays of tulips, daffodils, cherry blossoms and more. The Royal Parks offer a whopping 10 parks and gardens to explore, one day simply wouldn’t be enough to visit them all! The parks also have many events and experiences scheduled for this coming spring, so why not take a look at what they have to offer on their events page? There are events for all ages and some great family activities in London, some are even free! Plus, annually Hyde Park hosts the BST Hyde Park event, offering music performances from some top acts across July. Tickets are already on sale for artists such as Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams with more to be announced.
Take advantage of the warmer weather by dining alfresco at one of London’s rooftop bars or riverside restaurants. Enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline while sipping cocktails or indulge in delicious cuisine overlooking the Thames River. There are some great eateries with a view available, including the Rooftop at London Bridge or St. James and 10° Sky Bar. 10° Sky Bar has a wide range of cocktails and other beverages and gets it name from the angle which creates the golden hour, you’re guaranteed to get some Instagram-worthy pictures of your visit from this lush rooftop bar in Mayfair. The Rooftop St. James also offers stunning views over London, looking over Trafalgar square and giving you great perspective on the London skyline, including Big Ben, the London Eye and the Shard.
While spring in London brings milder temperatures, be prepared for occasional rain showers… It is still England after all! Make sure to pack a few layers and a waterproof jacket to stay comfortable. If you really want to make the most of your stay, choose a centrally located hotel to maximise your time in the city. We recommend staying in Mayfair – one of London’s more premium districts for a extra luxurious stay whilst still being central to attractions such as Hyde Park, Green Park, Buckingham Palace, the West End and shopping on Oxford Street or Bond Street.
