The city is yours. Go outside!!

Not everyone flies home or jets off somewhere for spring break. Some of us stay in London, and honestly, that is not a bad thing. The city gets quieter, your halls feel emptier, and suddenly you have time to actually enjoy the place you have been living in but barely exploring.

And spring is when London is at its prettiest!

The parks completely transform. Cherry blossoms pop up everywhere, the gardens start filling with colour, and the days get longer. It is the kind of weather where you actually want to be outside.

The good news is you probably do not even have to go far.

If you are at Robeson, Burgess Park is right on your doorstep, perfect for a picnic when the sun is out.

If you are at Butler's Wharf, you have Tower Bridge practically in your back garden, and walking along the river in spring is a completely different experience to doing it in January.

If you are at High Holborn, Lincoln's Inn Fields is right there and they have tennis courts if you want to actually do something active with your free time.

London is full of parks, so wherever your accommodation is, there is almost certainly one within a few minutes' walk. Have a look around and find the one closest to you. You might be surprised by what has been there the whole time!

If you're feeling like changing areas for some fresh areas:

Don't forget Hyde Park. A Classic!!

For something more special, Richmond Park is absolutely worth the trip. The glasshouses, the treetop walkway, the gardens stretching out in every direction. It is one of those places that makes you forget you are still in London.

Spring break in London is not about doing something massive every day. It is about slowing down, noticing how the city changes around you, and finally spending time outside without freezing. You have the whole place practically to yourself. Make the most of it.
