    A lovely walk from Warwick Avenue on the Bakerloo Line, to Camden Town market, for anyone who wants to experience a London treasure. The best things in life are free.

    As a student in London, I'm always on the lookout for free entertainment. Regent's Canal has become one of my favorite money-saving destinations for summer fun. Despite being incredibly close to my house, I never realized that the tow path is a fantastic way to get around some parts of London, without having to deal with the noise or traffic of cars. The canal is beautiful for a short stroll at any time of year, but in the summer the possibility opens up of spending a whole afternoon walking along and taking in nature and the fascinating people that occupy the tow path and houseboats on the canal. When my partner was here visiting, we took a lovely romantic stroll and had a picnic. It was pretty picture perfect...but beware of cyclists who compete for space with hand-holding couples along this walkway.

    I love this little hidden Gem of London. It's a canal path that runs through London with beautiful landscapes and some canal villages. You can also walk pass parts of London Zoo where you can see the Waterhogs and African Hunting Dogs in the summer. In the summer it's a great way to walk outside away from roads and traffic. There are joggers and bikers on the path so beware when you are walking to not walk into their way.

    After a busy week, I love walking across Regent's canal. No traffic to bother about, just walkers like you and people cycling. You can start from different areas as Angel or little Venice or Hackney and stroll around with a coffee or ice cream on hand. Apart from the tranquil waters of the canal, you will see all the newly build flats with the lovely balconies overlooking the canal, a lot of cosy coffee shops and boats. Walking here on a sunny or even a rainy day, makes me feel so relaxed and so much away from the busy life of London...

    There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats, says Ratty in The Wind in the Willows. Was Kenneth Grahame right in his assessment? Well maybe not in my case as I get a little seasick however if you want to escape the crowds for a while and see one of London's hidden gems, make your way to the aquatic oasis that is Little Venice. Located in Maida Vale, at the junction of the Regents Canal and the Grand Union Canal, it's the perfect place for a coffee and a leisurely stroll. A paved tow-path runs from Little Venice all the way to Camden Lock and the famous Camden Markets. From there, meander behind St Pancras station, popping into the London Canal Museum if you fancy? Continuing eastwards beyond the Islington tunnel and passing many notable landmarks including The Rosemary Branch theatre, it then forms the southern end of Broadway Market and then meets the Hertford Union Canal by Victoria Park, after which it turns south towards the Limehouse Basin, where today it also meets the Limehouse Cut. At this point the canal ends as it joins the River Thames. It is free to walk along the canals, a return canal boat trip will set you back about £7.50. I've certainly got the Wind in my Willows for this adventure!

    I absolutely love walks or bike rides down the Regent's canal! You feel rather like in the Netherlands than in London! When the weather is nice, it's just wonderful! There are many nice cozy pubs along the canal. It's also interesting to watch other people and interesting graffitis on the walls.

    Well, this park and garden is sublime…read more And I would know as I am an expert in outdoor parks in and around Old Street/Barbican/Islington. Why? Because I have a toddler in London, which means I have a toddler in a small flat, which means we MUST get outside or everyone goes crazy. So on this particularly lovely Saturday morning we walked to Kings Square Gardens on our babysitter's recommendation. She has a tendency to exaggerate so I wasn't expecting it to be so great, but it is. When you don't have kids you probably think all parks look the same. I did. Now I don't. There are some parks that standout and some parks that basically suck, and Kings Square is a GEM. First of all -- water and sand. This combination can keep a small person busy for like 15 hours without much else. I blissed out catching some rays as my little guy trounced back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth between 2 fountains. He was in absolute heaven. Throw in a few curbs and a HUGE sand pit, and wow -- all set. But it gets better -- a great slide built into the side of a hill. Why is this great? Because you don't need to worry about the small kids and a ladder or about them falling off the sides of the slide. This was an activity on repeat for about an hour as well. Genius. Beyond that it's super well cared for, very clean and nice people go here. Police rode through on some horses and waved at the kids. Dogs are welcome and visible from the kid area, but in their own area so things don't get weird. It's green and lush with beautiful trees and grounds. It's peaceful and the kids love it. We shall be regulars, very happy to have found it and I hope it helps someone else along the way as well! People, we need more park reviews! Park features (from the Islington.gov website): play space, large sand pit, climbing frames, swings, slide, play huts, roundabout, grass mound with water pumps, children's toilets, interactive water play feature, bog garden, pergola, planting beds and seating AND mature trees.

    This park doesn't fitness area. However, it is amazing and suitable for kids and pets.read more

    "If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life." - The Importance of Being Earnest…read moreby Oscar Wilde Soho Square is in the heart of SOHO, Westminster, UK. There's really not much here, well err, unless you're an Anglophile and knee deep with the royals. I mean you can hang around King Charles II all day here, or I should say his likeliness in a very old statue that dates to circa 1680. Frankly, I don't know much about Charles except for the fact that he would be a fashion geek in today's world, but again we're talking 1600's fashionista, so I guess his threads and locks has lady's man written all over it. Lady Gilbert restored old Charles and placed it in the square. In fact, I found Lady Gilbert a tad bit more interesting than King Charles II. I mean she did save the old statue and placed it on a small island, on her private lake, for safe keeping. And in her dying will, she made sure Charles was placed back to Soho Square, where he stands proudly today. Smirking at all the Brits and tourists that come flocking to the square to find not much but a very old statue of King Charles II. If you're a history romantic, like I am, I guess you'll enjoy the ambiance. Finally, Between 1778 and 1801 the Square was home to the infamous White House brothel at the Manor House, 21 Soho Square. And that's what it's all about! Ta!
