The sun brings out the best of London’s heart and soul. Paul Oswell

falls back in love with the capital

When summer comes to London the locals welcome it with both hands and do their best to soak up as many rays as possible.

Barbecues are lit, ice creams are bought and beer gardens fi ll up for those great long, sunny evenings for which residents wait all year. The capital’s parks become alive with groups of friends or families picnicking, playing frisbee or messing around on

boating lakes, while every piece of space is fi lled with all manner of events to make the most of the outdoors.

Whether you just want to sit back in
a deck chair and listen to some live jazz, catch the next up-and-coming band at one of the city’s music festivals or take a refreshing dip in an open-air swimming pool, we have a summery selection for you. Just remember to slap on the suncream! 
