Parks & Nature

Take a walk in the gardens of Kensington Palace. Feed ducks and swans in the round pond. Grab a coffee or ice cream from a vendor. Wander through the flower gardens. Feed the squirrels. A lovely park, right next door to Hyde Park.

Smaller than nearby Kensington Gardens or Hyde Park but also lovely. Used to be the grounds of Lord Holland's London home but was donated to the borough when he died. Has some open areas, playing fields and tennis courts as well as wooded paths to wander along. Look out for the peacocks that wander free in the grounds.

Want to see one of Britain's most expensive streets? Wander down The Boltons with its two crescents and private, communal gardens in the centre. Homes here don't come on the market often but the last time a house sold in The Boltons was in 2012 for almost £54 million.

Lined with all kinds of shops, boutiques, cafes and pubs, Kings Rd is a well known place to shop for well-heeled locals. Great for celebrity spotting - a while back I saw Kate Middleton doing some shoe shopping, Terence Stamp buying groceries and Hugh Grant grabbing a coffee in Starbucks. Best to start from the Sloane Square end (you can take the tube to Sloane Square) and wander down the street.
