In fact, there are over 2,000 hectares of bright green outdoor spaces in London for revellers to choose from. Therefore, we thought it only right we give you a lowdown of those we consider the best:

Hyde Park

Picnic spots in London don’t get more iconic than Hyde Park. Not only is it home to Kensington Palace and Gardens; it also houses the Serpentine Lido, along with another 142 hectares of grass and woodland, so you really are spoilt for choice.

Bushy Park, Hampton Court

If you fancy making the journey out to Henry VIII’s old stomping ground, you won’t be disappointed. In fact, Bushy Park is frequently referred to as one of the best picnic spots in London, owing to its gorgeous waterways and the majestic herds of deer who roam free.

Clapham Common

A fantastic choice for social butterflies; on a sunny day you’ll find Clapham Common packed to the brim with revellers enjoying the sun and, of course, a glass of Pimm’s or two.
