Hampstead Heath has it all. You can walk for miles, swim in the ponds – there are ancient woods, rolling hills and winding paths. It's just wonderful. Down the road, close to Camden, Primrose Hill has got one of the best views of London and is a great place to wander around. There's nothing like a traditional English "pub crawl" – visiting several bars in one evening. Primrose hill has some fine pubs. One of the most popular is The Queen's.
If you walk towards ZSL London Zoo, and cross the canal, you'll come to the gorgeous Regent's Park. It's home to the beautiful Open Air Theatre – can you beat that for a summer evening's entertainment?

For total peace and tranquillity, head off to either Kew Gardens or The Chelsea Physic Garden. Kew's got so much going on. It's home to lots of treasures, most famously the great green houses, and for total serenity visit the Japanese Minka House.
If you like running, Richmond and Crystal Palace are top picks for a good jog. Thanks to the hills, Crystal Palace is a challenge, but it's stunning. Did you know about the dinosaurs? Yes, Crystal Palace Park is home to the world's first ever dinosaur park! They can give you a real fright if you're not expecting them.
Richmond Park is also a top choice for romance! If you want to impress a lady friend, take her boating and then for a classy, romantic meal at Chez Lindsay.
