Best Park in London, for long walks, Kenwood House for tea or lunch, concerts set in the Park. Ponds to swim in good weather and the well known Primrose Hill, where you can see London and the ity from one of the highest spots.

I particularly love walking along the river - in Twickenham and Richmond. A visit to York house and its gardens is stunning, and a long walk with perhaps the treat of a drink or lunch at the end. I suggest pubs in Richmond or Twickenham such as the Barmy Arms, or The Swan, or another pub on Church Street in Twickenham.
