Best picnic locations in London

Speaking of parks, if you're looking for somewhere to go to in London other than the most renowned Hyde Park or St James' Park, here are a few other spots you might want to check out.

• Hampstead Heath. Famous for its remarkable city views and bathing ponds, this is an excellent park for a picnic. From Parliament Hill Viewpoint you get the best panorama of the city. You'll be able to see The Shard and the Houses of Parliament amongst other landmarks.
• Victoria Park. Often referred to as ‘the people’s park’, you can find excellent picnic spots at the Tower Hamlets parkland. This area features the Regal Boat Hire and a great play area for the children.
• Primrose Hill. If you're after picturesque views of the city skyline, Primrose Hill is another good choice. Find a spot at the top of the hill and admire the views of the city while munching on your vegetarian brunch. Lush!
