Hyde Park is to London what Central Park is to New York. Go for a run around Serpentine Lake, check out the latest exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, and have afternoon tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace.

Food Scene
Almost-vegan restaurant (they do have one daily fish/chicken dish) from Deliciously Ella. Try one of the non-dairy lattes or shakes - my personal favourite is the turmeric latte with almond milk.
