Go Green, Go to Regent's

Whether you go as a family or alone, indeed, there is something for you in London. Take Regent's Park for example. Bringing the whole family for a family date in Regent's Park is always a good idea.

Sure, it is fascinating to be able to take a glimpse of the home of Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, but if you do not really want to have a love affair with the road traffic and the congested scenery, you better just head for Regent's Park, the largest grass are for sporting activities in London. The place is like a whiff of fresh air and there are other places worth visiting which are just a walking distance away from the park.

Taking the whole family for a family date in Regent's Park is also a good idea. Near the southern part of the park, close to Portland Street tube station and Baker Street, you can take the children for an exciting play time at the children's playground.

While the children are busy climbing trees and having fun with other kids, you can relax for a while at a nearby cafe at the south side of Regent's park for some peaceful moments. If you want to have a bonding time with your children, go to the London Zoo on the northern part of the place. You can go around easily inside the zoo because the size is just enough for a short tour to view animals with the kids. It is not exhausting and is just a short walk from the Park, Baker Street and Great Portland tube station.

Regent's Park is open from 5 am but closing time depends on the month or season of the year. Parking time is available from 7am. From Monday to Saturday, you will be charged £2.40 per hour parking fee  with a four hour maximum limit, while on Sunday and holidays, park charge drops to £1.40 per hour, and the maximum stay limitation is disregarded.

After relaxing at the park, if you are a tourist and wants to have a pleasant road walk, try passing through the Marylebone High Street that extends from Euston Road all the way to Oxford Street in London. Start the journey from Euston Road, located between Regent's Park tube station and Baker Street. You pass through coffee stops for breaks and pubs for meals. For a change in scenery and a little thrill, drop by the church park and check out the old gravestones. If you like shopping, you can visit shops where most of the locals buy clothing and other goods.

Whether you go as a family or alone, indeed, there is something for you in London.
