Alternative things to do in London in winter
Alternative London – what does this really mean? Well…As one of the world’s truly global cities, London is notorious for its sometimes frenetic atmosphere. All you have to do it is jump on the London Underground and visit Oxford Street to get a sense of this. Despite the usual clichés operating around winter time here, you can experience some of the most beautiful blue skies and refreshing vistas in winter time.
Here we tell you the best things to do in London this winter!
1. Hyde Park
First of all, you will need to find a base from which you can explore the whole city. Located in South Kensington, Hyde Park is near some famous attractions including the Natural History Museum and Royal Albert Hall. This beautiful green park feels like the lungs of London and is a great place to go and reset. You can also visit the Albert Memorial and the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain there.
2. Explore more parks
Richmond park is just a short journey by public transport and is truly stunning. In fact, if you get a chance, you should check out all the different Royal Parks and get a real sense of the peaceful side of London at Christmas.
3. Mental tranquility in London
There are so many activities available to the traveler in London that it would take a lifetime to see and do them all! But the peaceful side of London can be experienced by visiting some of the meditation centers. They seem to be popping up all around the metropolis at the moment. They are a great antidote to the high octane energy of the city center. Meditation groups and classes are an alternative side of London. One that is not often seen by those visiting. However, it is a really effective way to actually relax on holiday!
