After moving to London a family often gets antsy looking for things to do and places to explore; when moving during the wintertime the list of possibilities is shortened dramatically. Rather than go stir-crazy inside one’s new flat after moving to London families of all ages and sizes should explore the London zoo. Many families moving to London look forward to exploring the city’s historical and cultural locations but the cold and rain keep them indoors. Cold weather or warm the zoo has plenty to offer all members of a family after the arduous process of moving to London.
The London Zoo is located in Regents Park with many Tube stations within an easy walking distance. Open every day of the year except Christmas the London Zoo offers lots of educational opportunities for those moving to London and a bit of excitement despite even the dreariest day’s best effort to keep families indoors. Some of the exciting wintertime exhibits sure to wow every member of any family include:
1) The Indoor Rainforest – The London Zoo has England’s only indoor rainforest where visitors can walk through a simulated rainforest to experience the hundreds of species of animals co-existing together in the most diverse setting on Earth. Also included is the Rainforest at Night exhibit showcasing the rich sounds and sights of the rainforest after the sun sets.
2) Penguin Beach – New to the London Zoo is Penguin Beach, the country’s largest penguin pool. Visitors can watch the penguins play in the water, enjoy a meal or just spend time hanging out. Available to purchase are VIP passes which allow guests a behind-the-scenes look at penguin life.
3) Butterfly Paradise – Opened in 2006 this exhibit is devoted to the conservation and study of butterflies and moths. Visitors to the exhibit can learn about all stages of a butterflies life, see hundreds of species of butterflies originating from around the world and learn about climate change and conservation.
4) Aquarium – Three halls are devoted to the London Zoo’s Aquarium. Conservation programs are prevalent with the seahorse breeding program being the most popular. Visitors can watch in awe at the many dazzling sea creatures swim by or learn about conservation programs across the country.

Living in London – Art Underground - Image via Flickr
If you’re moving to London, it may surprise you to find out that the London Underground is not a political movement (thanks to ‘A Fish called Wanda’ for that one). What it is, is a very convenient way of making your way around the city. The London Underground (just call it the Tube or the Underground like everyone else), is the second longest metro system in the world, it has about 402 kilometres of railway track and is used by about 3 million people every day.
The Underground serves the area of Greater London, covering everywhere from Aldgate East to Highstreet Kensington, as well as from Elephant and Castle all the way over to Regents Park and Great Portland Street. It’s a nice thing not to have to be the one making the effort with the transport, what with driving around and fighting through traffic and then having to find parking. Better to buy a ticket, catch the train and take a seat while the train carries you to your destination. You’ll only have to fork over a few pounds versus all the hassle of driving, petrol costs, the congestion and then having to pay for parking as well.
And it’s not as if you’ll be bored waiting for a train to arrive. If you don’t have a book about yourself, or your phone to surf the web, the Underground has projects like ‘Arts on the Underground’ and ‘Poems on the Underground’ to keep you entertained. Featuring the diverse art of high school students, abstract art, sculpture and pencil portraits of Jubilee line staff, you’ll spend more time looking at the scattered art throughout the Underground than you will looking at the watch on your wrist.
It’s a given that security will be a concern, but thankfully, there’s a constant police presence. The Underground works hand in hand with the Police so crime shouldn’t be a worry. That said, keep your wits about yourself and if you use the tube at night, make sure you’re with other people.

Living in London - Summer in the City- Image via Wikipedia
Heading straight into June and with the glorious days of July, August and September ahead, we find ourselves with Summer in London upon us. As an American moving to London, you may very well find yourself comfortably sitting with the illusion that London (and England as a whole) is a drab and colorless city, with summers as cold as many cities’ winters. If so, you’re in for quite a surprise once London’s summer swings around.
If you’re living in London in the summer, you’ll often see days climbing to 25 °C (77 °F) on the thermometer and sometimes even as high as 30 °C (86 °F). For the neophyte, it’s the kind of weather that means seeing London and its environs in a manner befitting seeing any new city – on your feet and at a leisurely pace. Start off with a visit to the London Eye on a clear day. As well as giving you an eye popping view of the city and its surrounds, taking a ride on this popular tourist attraction will give you a bird’s eye view of the city. It could show you places you have yet to visit and help you sort out your ‘explore London’ itinerary.
As for drab, grey and colourless, banish these images from your mind. Places like Regents Park, Notting Hill and the open space of Trafalgar Square really do help to show off the colour and vitality that London has to offer. And nothing will help to clear the stereotype of a grey and dreary London from your mind quite like the Chelsea Flower Show, the unofficial kick-off to London’s summer.
London is a city that revels in its summer, with the season being a veritable riot of things to do and see. From music concerts to public entertainment to sports events, none are more exciting than the highlight of summer in June, The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship, which will see the world’s top tennis players gather in London to face off for that tournament’s prestigious trophy. As an American moving to London, it’s an event which should go straight into your diary.
A drab and colourless London? Perish the thought.

Living In London – Outdoor London- Image via Wikipedia
Just as soon as you have settled into your new London apartment, you need to consider getting out and spending the long summer days enjoying the good weather. If you are used to an outdoors lifestyle, you may think that moving to London will give you no opportunity to enjoy nature and outdoor activities.
Yes. London is a massive city, but it is also one of the greenest cities in the world. A stroll round one of the many parks and open spaces will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you’re looking for something a little more exciting and you want to get your adrenalin pumping then why not try some of the adventure sports and activities that are available in or close to London.
Paintball
This is an extremely popular sport/activity for young Londoners and there are a number of excellent paintball facilities close to the center of London. Paintballing is a great way to meet people, and have a day of fun in the outdoors. You will get dirty; you have been warned!
Kayaking
Yes. Right here in London! You don’t even have to leave the city to enjoy this sport. With the River Thames winding its way throughout the city you can explore the city from a totally different angle. The kayak season is from April until October and this adventure starts from Regents Park and lasts for about two hours. It’s great if you’ve never wobbled your way into a kayak before and for people who live for the thrill of rafting and kayaking.
Country Walks and Rambles
London is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside and if you want to get out of the city for a day, then the Home Counties offer some truly remarkable country walks and rambles. You can even explore the quaint English countryside on horseback if you want to spend some time getting back to nature while you are living in London.

Living In London – The London ‘Underground’ – The Hidden Treasure of London Part IV-Image via Flickr
Tranquility and Calm
Despite its reputation as a massive city, living in London is going to give you an opportunity to live in one of the greenest cities in the world. There are dozens of parks and open spaces. Of course you’ll want to visit the grand parks of central London: Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens and Regents Park. There are however a number of smaller parks and gardens that are known only to Londoners. A respite from a weary working day or a great place to spend an afternoon in spring time. Some of the real treasures of London are not on the tourist maps.
Culpepper Community Garden
Right in the heart of a busy shopping and business area, Culpepper community Garden is a delightful oasis of tranquility and calm amid the bustle of modern London. The garden is located in Islington and is considered a city park as well as an environmental centre. The garden is focused on the community and is entirely organic. There is a large section of vegetable plots that are maintained by community gardeners and volunteers. These small gardens, including two raised gardens for the disabled are for the local community to enjoy the magic of growing and cultivating a garden. Community groups, school children and people who do not have gardens in the neighborhood, all come to lovingly tend the gardens all year round.
Different habitats and ecological environments have been cultivated to ensure the diversity of the area, and there is an abundance of birds, butterflies and frogs that make up the wildlife in the garden. Culpepper Community Garden hosts a number of functions throughout the year and annual membership of the garden is a paltry £10. You can be as involved as you want to be. From cultivating your own plot, to using the garden as a welcome sport away from the madding crowds in Hyde Park. This garden is truly for the community.
You’ll find that after you’ve been living in London for a while, you are struck by the sense of community that Londoners have for their neighborhoods and their city. You’re one of us now, so join in!

Living In London – London Neighborhoods – West London- Image via Wikipedia
Many an American moving to London looks at the suburb of Mayfair as the first choice in residential accommodation. West London, being central London in effect, is the closest to many of the top tourist attractions and many of the suburbs have a famous history as well as famous inhabitants.
West London – Mayfair
Although Mayfair falls into the area called West London, it is actually the most central London suburb in the city. It is certainly one of the most expensive areas of the city, but if you have cash to splash then W1 is the premium address in London. A studio London apartment in the suburb of Mayfair will set you back £1000 -£ 4000 per month. Homes can costs you up to £10 000 per month.
Council Information: Mayfair falls under the Council Borough of Westminster with annual taxes ranging from £500 – £1400.
Transport: Although there are no overland trains in W1, the London Underground has several stations including Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Regents Park and Bond Street. W1 has the most amounts of buses and night buses in the city of London.
Shopping: Not just one branch of the popular grocery stores in W1, this area of London has two or more of the top grocery stores in England. Tesco Express, Tesco Metro as well as Sainsbury’s and Marks and Spencer’s are but a few of the top shopping destinations in this area. It is also within walking distance of some of the up market high street shopping experiences in the world. Bond Street, Oxford Street; this is a place where the rich and famous drop their dosh on designer labels, jewels and priceless art and antiques.
Doctors: When you are registering for a GP in Mayfair you’ll have a number of surgeries to choose from. Mayfair is the home of doctors with the famous Harley Street being right in the middle of this suburb. The Mayfair Medical centre can be found on Weighhouse Street in Mayfair. If you’re looking for private specialists, than this is the area of London that you’ll find them.
Other Amenities: There are over 40 primary schools and number of excellent state secondary schools in the area, with dozens of amenities including some of the biggest parks in London. Hyde Park, Regents Park and Green Park make up a border of green spaces and open land for the city of London.

Living In London – London In-Depth By Area – North London Part III- Image via Wikipedia
If you’re moving to London, one of the first things you’ll realize about the city is that your entire life will be governed for the most part by which area you live in. You’ll need to establish what you needs are before you begin living in London to give you a good idea of where you should live. For the next couple of weeks I’m going to delve a little deeper into the amenities and services as well as the average prices in the more popular residential areas and what they can off the international Londoner.
North London – St. John’s Wood
This is one of the more expensive suburbs in London, with rentals ranging from £1000 per week for a studio apartment to £10,000 per week for a luxury four bedroom home on one of the better streets. It’s popular with expats and a few celebs. The proximity to central London is an excellent reason to choose a London rental in this neighborhood.
Transport: Located northwest of central London, the tube station is called St. John’s Wood which is found on the Jubilee Line of the London Underground. A trip into the very centre of London is going to take you about ten minutes so it’s great for commuters if you need to be centrally located. There is a 24 hour bus service into Oxford (number 189) or to Victoria (number 82) during the day.
Council Information: St. John’s Wood falls under the Council Borough of Westminster and you can expect your annual council taxes to range from £500 to about £1400.
Shopping: There is a Tesco metro and Tesco Express in St. John’s Wood, but Marks and Spencer’s or Waitrose are located outside of this suburb. Great news though – you can have your groceries delivered right to your kitchen counter from many of the large grocery stores.
Doctors: You can find NHS doctors at The Abbey Medical Centre and St. John’s Wood Medical Surgery.
Other Amenities: You’re close to Regents Park and Primrose Hill and there is an excellent public library on Circus Road – the St. John’s Wood Library. There are a several excellent restaurants and bars in the suburb and you’ll have problem finding a local watering hole. The international mix of residents has meant that there are a number of very good state schools and public schools in the area.

Living in London – A ‘Green City’ Part II- Image via Flickr
Author: Belinda
If you have recently settled in after moving to London, you will probably be looking for some respite from the hustle and bustle of city living and will want to get out of your London flat and explore some of the parks and green areas that London has. This city is one of the greenest in the world and Londoners are all outside at the first hint of sun. Walking, lazing under a tree, horse riding and sports are just some of the activities that you can find in the numerous parks and green belts that the city has to offer.
Regents Park
This is a park that is seriously devoted to sports and has some of the best sporting facilities in London. This is a large area of land, spanning 166 hectares and it contains a lake as well as some of the most interesting walks and nature activities. Once owned by King Henry VIII as a space for hunting, it was later landscaped into a spectacular garden with houses and country villas, creating some country style living right in the middle of the city.
Today, the park is devoted to nature and recreation. It is the home of the London Zoo and has a number of nature walks where it is possible to see different types of nature right in the heart of the city. It is also the home to a number of excellent restaurants and cosmopolitan eateries, which are frequented by thousands of people during the summer months, when the sun only sets after 10 pm each night. There are musical concerts on most weekends during the summer and the lake has boats for hire, which are perfect for the long summer afternoons. The open-air theatre produces spectacular shows throughout spring and into summer and is the home of the only outdoor professional theatre company in eth United Kingdom.
As only the English can do, the park is maintained and kept verdant by hordes of volunteers that range from celebrities, to recognised scientists, to classes of schoolchildren who are all dedicated to keeping the area green and promoting a culture of science and nature working together. The Botanical Gardens that have been laid out in Regents Park are some of the most spectacular in England and are well worth a visit.
Londoners takes their outdoor time seriously, and the amount of parks is testament to the amount of time that Londoner spend outdoors, especially in the summer months when the blazing heat drives people out their homes and offices to look for a shady patch of grass to while away a few hours. Whether you are looking for some fun in the sun or just a spot that you can call your own in this busy city, you will find one at Regents Park.

This June-in-review blog post is brought to us all by Sue Hillman of It’s Your London touring company. Providing custom tours of London tailored to your personal interests, It’s Your London will help you make the most of your time in this phenonemonal city. (For more information, see our previous blog post on It’s Your London as well visit www.itsyourlondon.co.uk)
Here’s your London Relocation review of June 2010 when we have seen the arrival of a stomping heat wave which is always a delight if a bit of a shock for us Londoners but has been great for play at Wimbledon. Here are a few highlights from the last month and we’ll not be mentioning the football at all!
We have wonderful big royal events in London and they are amazing spectacles, especially if you can get to see them close up. In June we have the Trooping of the Colour when the Queen celebrates her official birthday – she has 2 being the Queen and her actual birthday is in April. Crowds gather outside Buckingham Palace and along the Mall from about 8 o’clock onwards to get a front spot to see the royals ride past. From about 10 o’clock men in extraordinarily bright uniforms start to march past, then the massed bands gather and march down to Horse Guards Parade where the Trooping takes place. To get a 
seat for the main event means applying far ahead and being very lucky as you get grandstand views of the Queen inspecting her troops and then certain divisions parade their colours past her. The whole lot then march back up the Mall to Buckingham Palace and all the members of the royal family who are there for the event come out on the balcony to wave to the crowds, hear the 41 gun royal salute and watch the impressive fly past. Once the royals are safely in the palace the crowd is allowed to rush up the gates to get a better view of the balcony. It’s a great morning with a fun atmosphere and so much tradition being played out before you. Here are a few photos to give you the general idea and I was so pleased to get a good one of the Queen but what about poor Prince Philip with the huge bearskin weighing him down!
Open Garden Squares weekend is a fabulous event for the nosey among us! Many of the amazing gardens in London which you just can’t get into normally open their doors for one weekend and a single tickets at the reasonable sum of £7.50 gives you entry to all of them. There are so many to choose from
that it’s really hard to pick a few but my favourites were the garden on top of the Ismaili mosque; the Kensington Roof Gardens and Crescent Gardens. The mosque garden was worth a visit as we could go into their prayer room as well which is very modern and is open to women as well. The Roof Gardens are extravagant and mad with Spanish, Tudor and English country gardens sections with pink flamingos to add to the fun. The photos are from here as it’s hard to believe this is the centre of London on top of a major shop! Crescent Gardens are huge private communal gardens which are as big as a park and hidden away so you’d never see them – how the rich live!
On the theme of budget you can’t get better than free! For a few evenings in the summer giant screens go up and there are live screenings of ballet or opera from the Royal Opera House. I went to see one in Trafalgar Square which was magical as the first ballet was beautiful and the advantage of it being a television feed is that you get good close ups. The ballet was Chroma by Wayne McGregor and it was performed by dancers in singlets and no shoes and was rawly brilliant with a driving score. A couple of photos give you some idea of what it was like.
It’s been the best weather for going to riverside pubs so we went to Chiswick in
west London for a Sunday lunchtime treat and here’s a photo to show how much effort they go to with their flowers to make it look great. Every pub with a garden in London has been packed out every night as we make the most of the heat (sorry to go on about it but last year summer was very brief!). Other eating out has been in friends’ gardens – and in mine of course. Regents Park hosted the annual Taste of London Festival where top restaurants take a section and serve 3 of their signature dishes in small but decent portions. It’s a great showcase for all things food and drink with lots of stalls offering tasters. We had evening tickets and it was a really fun time grazing and checking out all the different restaurants trying to choose the best ones for our 3 dishes.
I’m off to America for a couple of weeks in July but I’m sure there’ll still be plenty of London activities to tell you about in the two weeks I’ll be in London!

We’re going to move it on up a little North of our Shopping Spree bundle today to some charming residential neighborhoods of London.
Hop the Tube to Regent’s Park Underground station (Bakerloo line). From here, we’re going to
walk into, surprise, surprise…Regent’s Park! Explore this vast park to your heart’s content—if you haven’t had breakfast yet, you can grab a bite at either the Boathouse or Garden Cafes, and do stroll through Queen Mary’s Rose Garden, the largest of its kind in London. You will notice the Open Air Theatre as well, which runs performances from May through September, and in the Northern part of the park, you’ll find the zoo!
If you’ve had enough fresh air and are itching for a museum of sorts, just off the lower West corner of the park (near the Baker Street Tube) are the famous Madame Tussaud’s wax museum as well as the Sherlock Holmes museum.
From here, you can walk into Marylebone and acquaint yourself with this neighborhood and either go on foot or catch the Tube at Baker Street or Marylebone Underground stations to St. John’s Wood. This upscale residential neighborhood is home to Paul McCartney and Abbey Road Studios (yes, you can even walk on the famous zebra stripe across Abbey Road as the Beatles did for the album cover of same name). Sports enthusiasts will also find the Lord’s cricket pitch here where the Marylebone Cricket Club plays its matches.
If you follow St. John’s Road toward the West and hang a left onto Maida Vale, you will then gain exposure to yet another delightful and peaceful area—Maida Vale. Here you’ll find the road made famous by Duffy’s song, “Warwick Avenue,” but of most aesthetic interest is Little Venice, so named because of its canals and boats. This is such a fun spot for cafes and pubs, so this might be a good time to stop for lunch or even early dinner, depending on how your day’s been going.
Otherwise, if you hold out for dinner and are open to spicy international food, I absolutely recommend heading down the Maida Vale street, which will eventually become Edgware Road. Here you will find a row of restaurants representing a range of Middle Eastern cuisine for very reasonable prices and can even treat yourself to a shisha and mint tea (hookah) after dinner out on the sidewalk.
The rest of the evening is up to you…if you’re a Paddington Bear fan, one little sidetrack you could make is to see Paddington Station where this little bear from Darkest Peru was discovered. Otherwise, maybe go get some rest after this long, fun day!

Last year, British Airways’s High Life magazine listed 999 things to do in London to give us that perfect excuse to visit England’s capital. The periodical then asked its readers to submit their ideas for the 1,000th reason to come to London. Below are a few snippets of what people suggested that will offer you FREE and original, off-the-beaten-path ways to appreciate the parks and gardens here:
The winning suggestion: “The smell of roses at Queen Mary’s Rose Garden in Regent’s Park is a wonderful starting point for anyone’s quest.”
“Visit Carlyle’s House in Cheyne Row and feed the tame blackbirds in the garden.”
“Visit Primrose Hill at dawn. As the sun rises over Canary Wharf and illuminates the skyline from St. Paul’s, The Eye, and stretching back to Crystal Palace, this ranks as one of the best views in the whole world. The last 400 years of the history of London in one simple vista.”
“Hire a deckchair in Green Park. Whether you choose to doze in the sunshine or read a book in the dappled shade, it’s the perfect way to escape the hectic pace of London life.”
“The garden in the middle of the Victoria and Albert Museum is an oasis of calm and beauty. Free (well, a donation) entry and a wonderful place to visit.”
“Hide away from the hustle and bustle of the city at Postman’s Park, a stone’s throw from the Barbican.’
If you’re moving to London, you’ll eventually be eager to side-step the tourist trail and discover these hidden nooks on your own. Once the relocation specialists at London Relocation Ltd. assist you with your London home search, you’ll be ready to explore and surely discover your own list of 1,000 things to do here!
