The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew - often referred to simply as Kew Gardens; includes an arboretum containing one of the finest collections of living plants on Earth, together with historic buildings such as glasshouses and high-temperature greenhouses for plant research including genomics work, dating back to 1841 when its first seeds were propagated.

The beautiful Alexandra Palace Park in London is the perfect place for a picnic. It’s right next to the famous Alexandra Palace, which was made back in 1873 and has been hosting concerts ever since. There are plenty of benches to relax on after your meal, or you can take a walk around the park to see all its beauty. 

The famous Crystal Palace that was built in Hyde Park during 1851-1854 is also just down the road from here if you want to visit it as well!

Holland Park

Holland Park is a green space in West London, close to the centre of the city. It’s a great place for families who want to enjoy some time outdoors and get away from their busy lives. There are many options for day trips and activities at Holland Park including The Japanese Garden, Paddling Pool, Wild Flower Meadow, Tennis Courts, etc. 

The Paddling pool is perfect for children with its large entrance size which makes it easy to enter or leave without assistance. They can also swim around in the shallow water as they will not be able to go too deep into this area due to how shallow it is. The paddling pool has lifeguards on duty during operating hours so parents don't need to worry.
