Today, I’m taking you to my favourite event in London’s calendar. The mighty Lambeth Country Show, a family-friendly weekend festival taking place annually in Brockwell Park in south London since 1974. That’s right – it’s been going strong for 50 years, which is the best testimony an event can have. Over 120,000 people visit the festival over the weekend each year. And by the way, it’s completely free to enter!

Brighton, a seaside resort in the south of England, is one of London’s favourite destinations on a sunny weekend. This bustling city has loads of attractions to offer in between strolling on the pebbled beach. There’s already a post on this blog with my one day trip to Brighton, including a visit to the stunning Royal Pavilion. This time, I decided to visit Sea Life Brighton – the world’s oldest aquarium!

Today, I’m taking you to a real secret garden. Located in the heart of London, the Chelsea Physic Garden is a true hidden gem of the British capital. The Garden, established in 1673, is the only botanic garden collection focused entirely on medicinal, herbal and useful plants. I recently had a chance to spend a lovely morning there during the Plant Festival. Here is what I saw.

I love hiking. I was lucky to grow up in the south of Poland, close to Silesian Beskids Mountains, and hiking was one of our favourite choices for a weekend family daytrip. Now that I thoroughly enjoy living in London, one of the things I miss the most are mountain trails. When I flew back home to spend Easter holidays with my family, we managed to organise a hiking daytrip and went on Barania Gora – the second highest peak of Silesian Beskids mountain range.

Today, I’m taking you to a green oasis in West London – the WWT Wetland Centre. I noticed it while scrolling through Google Maps a long time ago and had it on my list of places to visit in London ever since, but there was never the right time for it – until recently. I had a day off and wanted to explore a new place, but the weather forecast was rather poor for all of England and I didn’t want to risk going out of London to be caught by rain and forced to spend the whole daytrip hiding in some cafe. So, I thought, why not visit the London Wetland Centre! Far enough to call it a trip, close enough to not feel too disappointed should the weather ruin it.

One of my favourite things about living in London is how diverse it is in terms of landscape and things to do. You may live in a metropolis with nearly 10 million inhabitants, but if you fancy a taste of the countryside, it’s just around the corner. When I discovered London urban farms, I was over the moon and they quickly became some of my top go-to places on a chilled Saturday morning. Today, I wanted to share with you one of my personal favourite places in London – Mudchute Farm.

Can you believe that the first quarter of 2024 is already gone? Time flies so fast! I was looking at my photos from the past few months and figured it would be a good idea to summarise all of those memories in one post. I have actually managed to visit quite a few places! So, sit back and enjoy the sights of London in January, February and March 2024.

Winter walks by the sea hold a special charm – the crisp air, the solitude, and the stunning coastal views. I love my daytrips to the seaside, but – unlike most people – I prefer them in colder months, away from sunbathing crowds. Recently, I embarked on a walk from Ramsgate to Margate, on the southeast coast of England, encountering unexpected delights along the way. Join me as I recount the highlights of this memorable seaside escapade.
