Primrose Hill

The highest hill in London offers breath-taking views of the capital and most tourists don't even know about it. Located only a short walk from the London Zoo, this park is a great get-away from the city's rush. Pack yourself a snack and go for a picnic with a view. You'll always remember seeing the sunset here.

Be sure to look for an old oak tree, known as "Shakespeare's Tree", that was planted on the hill in 1864, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the playwright's birth.

The park is well-facilitated, including an outdoor gym and also a children's playground.
