Explore the Royal Botanic Gardens
Richmond, United Kingdom
4.5
A fairly easy drive from London, a couple of minutes, parking is accessible and cheap. The entrance of the gardens cost about 15 Pound. But its worth it, trust me. The gardens feature so many things, from tropical to semi-arid, to the many flowers of the world. The restaurant / cafe features some of the U.Ks finest pastries too.
A panoramic view at Primrose Hill
Greater London, United Kingdom
Just north of Regents Park, Primrose Hill provides a lovely sweeping panorama of London. It's just a short walk up to the top, where you can snap shots of the London skyline.
It's best accessed from the Chalk Farm tube station -- it's about a 15min walk from the station to the hill. Head over to Regents Park afterwords, or explore nearby Camden market or St Johns Wood.
