What To Do This Spring And Summer In Central London?

Posted by Lata Patil on August 25th, 2022

 Spring and Summer seasons are the best time to visit London. We advise you that you lock down on one of the Central London hotel deals a month or two before your arrival to the city as the price of accommodation skyrockets. However, you will find yourself enjoying this magnificent city within your budget. The city is blooming under the fragrant flowers and a number of events are hosted to commemorate the arrival of Spring.  

Here are the best things to do in London during Spring and Summer: 

St. Paddy's Parade 

St. Paddy is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in London. The March 17th date is special for the people in London as there is a parade with marching bands, a procession of dancers and floats that travel from Hyde Park Corner to Whitehall. It is easy to find stalls throughout Trafalgar Square that consist of Irish food, crafts stalls and performance artists that delight your heart. After you have spent your day, find yourself in an Irish pub for a pint of Guinness. 

Central London hotel deals during St. Paddy are unmissable as the city is gearing up to celebrate the incoming Spring and Summer season. 

Kew Gardens

London is a spectacular place for all nature lovers from Spring and throughout all of Summer. Apart from the marvellous moat at the Tower of London that is filled with millions of flowers to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen, Kew Gardens is blooming and ready to be explored as well. In the month of April, you can stroll under the blooming cherry blossoms in Cherry Walk, or find some bell-shaped blooms in the Bluebell woods. Pack a picnic basket and spend your day under the fragrance of flowers and the soft breeze that accompanies the spring season. 

Blue Orchid hotels London, The Wellington and the Rochester are within 30 minutes from the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens if this event makes it to your itinerary. 

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 

Organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, the Chelsea Flower Show is hosted in May every year. With more than 150,000 visitors, you could even spot some Royals amongst the crowd during this event. The flower show is a display of artistic creation using flowers. Designers compete to create an otherworldly haven with flowers, there are workshops organised for gardening guidance, shops to buy gardening tools and on the final day of the show, you can even purchase many of the plants and flowers. 5 minutes away from the Wellington Hotel London, you can reach the Chelsea Flower Show from the Sloane Square tube station. 

Stroll in Hyde Park

Hyde Park is one of the most popular Royal Gardens in the city. One of the biggest parks in London, it is a popular hangout spot during Spring and summer. You could spot a number of families in the park sitting down for a picnic and throwing a frisbee to enjoy the warm weather. 

Within 12 minutes from the Wellington hotel London, you can take a stroll in the park or if you are visiting during the summers, be sure to check out the upcoming concerts in Hyde Park. BST Hyde Park is one of the biggest music festivals that has been headlined by big names such as Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. It will prove to be an experience of a lifetime with all the sporting event screenings, film screenings and pop-up food festivals. 

Notting Hill Carnival 

Celebrating the Caribbean culture, the Notting Hill Carnival is one of the biggest festivals in London. Organised on the August Bank Holiday weekend, the streets are filled with colourful stalls and parades. Calypso and Afro music dominates the city while you watch the floats with steel bands, DJs and dancers making their way. Millions of people attend this festival along with some popular celebrities such as Leigh Anne Pinnock of Little Mix.

Open Air Theatre at Regent's Park 

11 minutes from the Regent's Park, Blue Orchid hotels London, the Wellington and the Rochester provide the closeness you need to the Royal Parks of the city. 

While Hyde Parl organises music festivals, travellers can enjoy one-air theatre. With a total of 5 plays being performed that range from Shakespeare to children's theatre, it is one of the best family-friendly things to do in London.
