Springtime London

Springtime is a glorious season for coming to London. The days are becoming longer and brighter and the air is fresh. Trees are beginning to lose their wintry look as green shoots appear.

Why not take a waterbus up the Thames to Kew Gardens to see the beautiful acres of spring flowers or pop into the tropical hothouses if the weather takes a turn.

The Thames waterbus can also take you downstream towards Greenwich and fabulous National Maritime Museum and the Greenwich Royal Observatory where longitude and time began.

The London parks all have their individual spring displays including St James Park close to Buckingham Palace where you can also enjoy seeing pelicans and black swans. Access to these treats is an easy walk from Trafalgar Square, home to Nelson's Column, the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery.

All these places have welcoming cafes where you can get tea, coffee, soup and snacks.

A popular and interesting walk is from Westminster Bridge along the South Bank of the Thames, passing the London Aquarium, National Theatre, London Assembly building and the iconic Tower Bridge opposite the Tower of London. You can take a break from your walk and take a flight on the London Eye. The skyline of London is both fascinating and breathtaking at this time of the year and you will enjoy pinpointing London's landmarks from this amazing vantage point.

London's theatres are currently hosting many long running musicals and it is easier in spring to book the show of your choice as a spring treat.

If you need accommodation while you are in London, Go City Apartments are offering an excellent range of furnished apartments available from just one night upwards. Locations include Trafalgar Square, South Kensington, Holborn Covent Garden and the City of London.
