Why not take a waterbus up the River Thames to Kew Gardens to see the beautiful acres of spring flowers or pop into the tropical hothouses if the weather takes a turn.

The Thames waterbus can also take you downstream towards Greenwich and fabulous National Maritime Museum and the Greenwich Royal Observatory where longitude and time began.

All the London parks have their stunning individual spring displays including St James Park close to Buckingham Palace where you can also enjoy seeing pelicans and black swans. Access to these treats is an easy walk from Trafalgar Square, home to Nelson's Column, the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery.

All these places have welcoming cafeterias where you can get tea, coffee, soup and snacks.

One of the most popular and interesting walks is from Westminster Bridge along the South Bank of the Thames, passing the London Aquarium, National Theatre, London Assembly building and the iconic Tower Bridge opposite the Tower of London. You can take a break from your walk and take a flight on the London Eye. The skyline of London is both fascinating and breathtaking at this time of the year and you will enjoy pinpointing London's landmarks from this amazing vantage point.

London's well-loved theatres are currently hosting many long running musicals and it is easier in spring to book the show of your choice as a spring treat.
