Pedal power

Hire a bicycle from docking stations all over the city – just touch the screen with your bank card to get started, ride it where you like and then return it to any other docking station. There are miles and miles of cycling routes, so whether it's a trip along the river to see London's sporting sights, a tour around the capital's quirky sights, a whizz through the markets, secret gardens, parks and squares, or you simply fancy cycling to your favourite department store, consider it a must-do.

Park life

Richmond Park is one of the wildest parks in Britain. King Henry VIII used to hunt there and the deer still wander this south-west London wilderness. See if you can find the Royal Ballet School, tucked up a long avenue of trees in the very centre of the park, or why not let us book you a horse riding lesson?
