London conjures grand images of royalty, romantic palaces and afternoon tea. A unique and historic city nestled on the River Thames, London’s vibe is that of renaissance life blended with burgeoning technologies. It is a melting pot of nationalities and beautiful languages. In a nutshell, London cannot be definitively defined. And, with so much history and culture to offer visitors and residents alike, London is a must-see for world travelers.
With the weather in mind, it should be a cinch to plan a wardrobe for London. Depending on what you plan to do during your visit (enjoying a play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, visiting historic pubs or taking tea at Kensington Palace Pavilion), packing should be simple.
What to do in London in the Spring
While visiting London in the spring, take some time to revel in the beauty of the outdoors with a visit to a garden. Isabella Plantation garden spans 40 acres and was originally planted in the 1830’s as part of a Victorian plantation. Or you may enjoy views of the breathtaking Lavender Garden at Vauxhall Park or blooms of pink (when in-season) along the cherry blossom lined sidewalk at Greenwich Park. If you are seeking a picturesque place to dine in London, the beautiful Dalloway Terrace restaurant offers seating amid lush greenery and flowers during the spring season. Dalloway Terrace also offers afternoon tea.
Additionally, be sure to drop into a chocolate shop like Melt Chocolates or Paul A. Young Fine Chocolates to sample seasonal offerings like fried milk chocolate Easter eggs.
