Once you have well and truly satisfied the thrill seeker inside of you, it may be time for a more relaxing experience. Some of our favourite quintessentially London sights include Buckingham Palace and museums such as The Natural History Museum and Science Museum. Summer in London also means picnics in some gorgeously green spaces and you cannot go wrong with Hyde Park or Holland Park, you may even spot a fabulous peacock in the latter!
