This is a great park to bring my dog. There's is a paved walkway around the perimeter. There's a…read morecouple water fountains and a loo for use. There's also an onsite mini golf course. On the weekends there are typically kids' matches in play. Nice place for a picnic or even to sit and watch the river flow by.

Wandsworth Park, it's nothing special…read more There's one tennis court. There's one field for bowls. There's a little cafe. There's a playground. There's a big open green space. There's a tree-lined promenade that hugs the Thames and overlooks another foliage-filled green space across the river in Fulham. But that's about it.

Really nice place. Belongs to a Lady Caroline Dent, a horse fan (but it's no business, more a club…read moreopen to the public). The essential is there, gear on loan, a club house with a small food joint... Horses are nice (fit, well behaved), prices are decent (see their website), instructors competent (as far as I can judge :-) Within the Green Belt with access to nearby woods and fields. Can be reached by bus from Northwood.

Ok stables not the best, I phonesd a stables called jacks, but they don't do lessons anymore just…read morehacks and leads. So they recommended littlebourne farm and abbey fields. At littlebourne the horses were nice. The staff were alright but not over friendly, more interested in getting the money. The kids up there what help out, swore a lot and this is what put me off. So I tried out abbey fields this weekend and I would recommend them to anyone, great place.

The best thing about this riding school must be the location. Only minutes ride away from Richmond…read morePark the hacking here is absolutely breathtaking. The tuition is also of a really high standard. The riding school is very large with horses and ponies to suit people of all ages and standards. You'll find everything here, from 4 year olds having leads out in the park to keen pony clubbers to professional show jumpers. The facilities are also great, with very large indoor and outdoor schools complete with jumps. The stable also regularly take clients to their cross country course on Wimbledon Common. There are group and individual lessons to choose from and a great variety of things to do. The staff are very professional and with so many different instructors there is sure to be someone to suit any rider.The only negative I can think of is that the prices are very high. However, with such a unique location that is understandable. The stable also has a few livery spaces available, however here the prices really are extremely high- personally I couldn't quite see that it was worth the cost and therefore had to move my horse further out of London. Anyone looking to ride in the London area should be sure to give this place a look!

Paola's is a cozy, cute studio discretely located on a residential road in Fulham. On your first…read morevisit it may be a bit difficult to find but if you look out for the line of girls in lululemon you'll know where to go. The studio offers a range of classes from barre, Pilates, yoga, TRX, and much more. The classes always seem full and all of the instructors I have had have been good. The studio is decorated adorably and they have any equipment you would need (i.e. no need to bring your own yoga mat). They have a really great unlimited package for under 25's which gives you access to everything at a very reasonable price. Everyone at the studio is very friendly and welcoming my only complaint would be that the instructors are not extremely hands-on but the classes are normally quite full so it's understandable. I highly recommend anyone in West London to check out Paola's for fun classes with good music in a studio with great atmosphere.

This is a wonderful place to visit in Eltham, very close to Eltham Palace and just down the road…read morefrom the old army barracks. This is a tranquil little haven for wildlife, trees and fauna. There are many squirrels which will actually come up and take food from your hand they have become so tame. There are many wild fowl including ducks and swans and there is an island in the middle of the little lake which is famous for toads. There are little bridges back and forth over the water and it really is an idillyic place to take the children or to go for a romantic stroll. It is kept by Greenwich parks this is from their website and I quote...... A beautiful landscaped garden and lake with interesting wild fowl. Many original features have been retained from the 1930s. There is also a picnic area and an 18th Century ice well. The ice well served as a storage area for ice, to be used by the kitchen staff at Eltham Palace. I have enjoyed many an afternoon out with my kids here and have taken some wonderful photos. It is fully accessible to wheelchairs however there are some very steep slopes, there are no toilet facilities on site for anyone. Worth a visit, take some nuts for the squirrels and bread for the ducks, sit on a bench and watch the world go by, next to the Green chain walk, easy parking nearby.

Really pretty park with lovely walks and scenery close to Eltham palace and shops…read more I love to come here on a Sunday cos its really peaceful and quiet!

The best mini adventure in the city of London! Don't think twice and try it now!…read more I totally recommend you to book in advance. The boat is so easy to drive and the staff is so helpful.

Have a picnic, you are also allowed to take some booze on board :) take a wireless portable speaker put the music on and have the best time of your life!!! Great with friends, family, dates.. I totally recommend it and I'm def coming back!!

When I was asked if I would be interested in cruising down the canal from Paddington basin, to…read moreCamden, I couldn't help but jumped a little in excitement.. I have never done a canal cruise, I mean I have seen the canal boats all long the London canals.. But driving a boat down.. Now that's something you don't do everyday.  Now, Go Boat is the only self drive electric power boating experience in London, this is a follow up on the success Go Boat had in Scandinavia.  The journey take place by Merchant Square nearest station I would say is Edgware road station. You can book various hours, however we think that a minimum of two hours are required.. We had two hours on our trip and you really don't know where they go.. I mean when they said time flies when you are having fun.. They didn't exaggerate!  Just in case you think that they let all these Londoners loose on the canals of London.. Don't worry.. We have all been briefed of all the tight squeeze and  things to avoid as well as a map to merry Bob along the canals towards Camden Town. Apparently this journey should take no more than 60 mins.. Well, let's just say we wanted to get to Camden but may not have made it in the two hours we had.  It's such a difference experience to see London from a different side.. Passing little Venice, along Regents Park, where you can spot a few zoo animals.. It just makes anyone so happy.  Our trip was also filled with lovely drinks provided by Fentimans I have always loved their delicious Ginger Beer, I didn't even know that they do alcoholic drinks.. The pre mixed Gin and tonic.. Was delicious.. Together with vegetable crips from Emily's Crisp it was a perfect Saturday afternoon.  I loved the experience and would definitely be recommending it to friends and family, looking to enjoy a different size of London. Thanks again to Jo from @lovepopupslondon for the invite

Only been once so far, for a Wednesday evening drop-in paddling session down the Regents Canal, but…read morethis seems like a great club. There was a big crowd (maybe 25 people?), and while things weren't totally streamlined, the staff was friendly and got everyone sorted out in reasonably short order. Everyone got their own kayak or open canoe, double-ended paddle (although they ran out of right-handed adult paddles by the time I got to the front of the queue), and life vest. We all piled into the canal and floated around for a bit while the guides gave a quick safety spiel and then we were off, heading towards Victoria Park. The group spread out pretty widely, with the enthusiastic youngsters blazing on ahead, splashing each other, and causing a ruckus, and the old people like me lagging behind. We paddled a couple miles downstream, portaging around the one lock we encountered, before we turned around and returned. Good times! My favorite staffer, by the way, was Chris, who was amiable, unhurried, and had his enthusiastic blue and white dog Gracie along for the ride, but everyone I spoke with was very nice. The weather was excellent, the water was calm, and the canal was not busy. For £3, on a nice evening, this is a tough experience to beat for some relaxed exercise. I'll certainly be back.
