The Best London Summer Staycation Ideas

It’s a fact that you can get just as much joy from holidaying on your doorstep as those classic overseas destinations, particularly somewhere as eclectic as London. From the best London beer gardens to sports screenings of The British Lions Tour to dog-friendly dining spots, there is enough happening in London this summer to suit everyone.

It would be ideal to find a hotel that also offers alfresco dining with the chance to catch up on the summer sport whilst being able to hang out with your four-legged friend, wouldn’t it? If this sounds like your kind of stay then read on.

1. Be a Tourist for a Day in Central London

We all think we know the area we live in, but how well do we truly know? Get a fresh pair of eyes for your own city, get lost in streets you’ve never been to and discover things that’ll make you see the city in a new light.

The Station Hotel in Hither Green is the perfect spot to explore from, 15 minutes away from London Bridge and minutes from nearby Blackheath village and it’s trendy shops and green spaces.

2. Enjoy Tranquility in Teddington

Peace and quiet in London? You bet! Escape to Teddington with the little ones or your furry friends for sunset walks through Bushy Park, dinner in nearby Richmond which is home to a range of eclectic restaurants, or a visit to the renowned Hampton Court Palace.

An iconic Grade II landmark in the heart of Teddington, The Park Hotel’s spacious interior and grand decor paired with its hearty and quintessentially British menu will be sure to provide with with a peaceful city break.

London possesses a cornucopia of romantic experiences, locally in Clapham treat you and your partner to a cookery date at Cactus Kitchens, the award-winning cookery school from Michel Roux Jr (he’s a local boy!) and meandering around Clapham Common ending at the Windmill for a well-deserved drink before you rest on your snooze-worthy Hypnos mattresses in our boutique bedrooms.

Want to head into the City? You’re only 15 minutes away from Central London and all it has to offer – from Borough Market and their hip bars and market stalls to the picturesque sight of the sun setting behind the London Eye.

Whether it’s a morning run along the Thames with your four-legged friend or heading to Twickenham Stadium, the home of English Rugby, to watch the British Lions Tour. There’s no better place to soak up the atmosphere.

After a day filled with activities, head back to the Alex Pope and treat yourself to a meal in their restaurant which showcases the best of land and sea featuring some delicious, vibrant vegan choices.
