London's parks and canals in summer are in a league of their own and quite honestly, worth a lot more than just a picnic (although they are good for that too).
A few minutes from The Pilgrm, Hyde Park is a walking exhibition in itself: a sinuous brick pavilion from and the late David Hockney's first show, with extended hours until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays in its final weeks.
Over in Richmond Park, 2,500 acres of nature to stretch your legs, plus 30 sculptures scattered across nearby for you to explore.
And for a regular favourite, turns a stretch of Hackney into one of the city's best markets with bakeries, cheesemongers, wine bars and flower stands bringing a summer atmosphere that is worth the trip.
