Take advantage of the long summer days to visit one of the many breathtaking parks in the city. As we all know, London wouldn't be the same without its beautiful parks, and summer is the best time to visit them! From the perfectly trimmed hedges of Regent's Park to the rugged centennial oaks of Richmond Park, the park selection couldn't be any better. Hyde Park is another wonderful "green lung" of the city, and if you get lost deep enough you can't even feel that you are in a 12million people metropolis!

The Cavendish London is an amazing place for a great summer break in the city. We are in a privileged location in the centre of London, just a few minutes' walk from Piccadilly Circus, Green Park and Buckingham Palace. If you're willing to visit the Summer Opening of the palace, we are a great option to stay in. We are also within walking distance to Leicester Square and the West End, which makes catching a musical easy and convenient.
