Regent's Park
The Regent's Park is the largest grass area for sports in Central London and offers a wide variety of activities, as well as an Open Air Theatre, the London Zoo and many cafes and restaurants. Henry VIII appropriated The Regent's Park for use as a hunting ground, which he considered to be an invigorating ride from Whitehall Palace. At that time, the only boundaries were a ditch and a rampart. Were he here today, Henry would hardly recognise the stylish gardens and sports fields that now stand in its place.
London Wetland Centre
Great variety of birds both resident and wild. Many hides around the two sides of the Wetland Centre. In summer a huge variety of insects can be found when it's a quieter time for the birds. Something of interest for all wildlife enthusiastic family members. Weekends are always busy so the more serious birder may prefer weekday visiting if they're free to do so. Plenty of events and organised activities. A quiet retreat in close proximity to the centre of London.
