London, The Paradise for Museum-addicts

We wouldn’t be wrong when we say London the ‘museum paradise’ now, would we? With their long history inside them, London museums are mostly free for visits which we know doesn’t matter for museum-addicts anyway, just saying!

And one can’t forget about the National Science Museum. Promising to inspire you with its award-winning exhibitions and surprising settings, the museum offers a unique experience.

Grey London, You Say?

London has a reputation for its rainy and somewhat grey days. While some people love that unique atmosphere and enjoy the warm blanket, hot tea with a Sherlock marathon, for some people, it is all a stuck-at-home day with a slow blues song in the background. This little concern may affect those who visit London too. However, both for locals and first-time visitors, London has a surprise. With its many green spaces that include designated and refreshing walking paths, the city is home to many parks you can enjoy alone or with your friends, even on rainy days!

Greenwich Park, the oldest Royal Park in London, offers enormous greenery in the city. If you get tired of travelling around the city, rest there. Want to play a quick tennis match with friends? There is your field! For those who want to multitask, Greenwich Park got what you are looking for with Royal Observatory, where the prime meridian passes through.

Hyde Park is a perfect destination to breathe the fresh air to get some energy for the rest of the London trip! Richmond Park is also from the Royal Park family, this time the largest one in London.

 And if you also like those beautiful eyed deer, Richmond Park is a must-go for you with its 650 deer within its wide grass. We shouldn’t skip the beautiful Kensington Gardens with its gigantic trees making you feel safe. Just breathe it!
