London’s Summer Highlights: Must-Do Activities for an Unbeatable Season




July 18, 2023

Time to bring out your summer wardrobe as the hot season is already here!

Summers in London are the best. The hot sun peeking through clouds and the warm summery winds gives us a refreshing break from the long winter season. This hot weather always calls for fun and action. Spending this season in London is truly a one-of-a-kind experience as there are numerous new adventures and unforgettable activities waiting for you. 

Without much further ado, let’s begin with the list of things you can experience in the hot season;

  1. Ride the Airline Cable Car

Look at London from a different yet breathtaking perspective with its airline cable car. It covers the city's classic tourist spots, including St. Pauls’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf, The O2, the Shard, Maritime Greenwich, the Thames Barrier, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  1. Kyoto Garden – Your Quick Getaway to Japan

This place is a treat for West Londoners looking for a break from chaotic city life to breathe in some fresh air. The Park and the cool Asian Koi carp that flows all around the vicinity cool you off during the hot day and keep you entertained with the in-park activities.

Head to Madame Tussauds if you’re up for some fun and surprises!
