Guidebook for London
Parks & Nature
Famous for its peacocks and Japanese Kyoto Garden. Holland Park is my favourite London park because of its unique character, wildlife and different settings. From the Koi Carp in the Kyoto garden to the woodland trails and manicured flower gardens. Even better, it's free! Open during daylight hours, can get busy at peak times on weekends. Toilets, water fountains and cafe on site. Suitable for both running or walking, cycling not allowed. 20 mins walk, 5 mins cycle.

Drinks & Nightlife
Opening on November 3rd we’re transporting you into a Nordic-mystical forest dining and drinks scene, set 100-feet-high under a canopy of holly, ivy, and winter flowers and filled with some of London’s finest restaurants.
Pergola on the Roof will be a piece of wintry escapism – a rooftop eatery, covered by a low level wooden structure wrapped in forestry foliage, set against burgundy walls and paved with woody bark. Think silver birch trees, low level lighting, blankets, cedar wood, oaky scents and candle light. Open until 11pm (9pm Sundays). Under 10 mins walk. http://pergolaontheroof.com/
