Over the last week we’ve been celebrating London’s finest green spaces and there’s none finer than the largest of London’s Royal Parks, Hyde Park. Housing massive gigs and events throughout the year, it’s an entertainment mecca. Want a quieter day out? Take a walk along the Serpentine or hire a boat. Bliss. [📷: Arthur Comely]

In my secret garden, I’m looking for the perfect flower Waiting for my finest hour In my secret garden, I still believe after all I still believe and I fall You plant the seed and I’ll watch it grow I wonder when I’ll start to show I wonder if I’ll ever know Where my place is Where my face is I know it’s in here somewhere #london

Don’t forget that if you spending time outdoors in the heat, it’s extremely important to look after yourself by applying plenty of sun cream and remaining hydrated with lots of water.
