Here are some suggestions for those staying with us at the Park Grand London Kensington this bank holiday to give you an idea of just what’s on offer in this buzzing and bustling city.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show
You don’t need to be green fingered to enjoy a visit to one of the world’s biggest and best flower shows! London bursts into vibrant colour with the arrival of this annual celebration of all things floral, but even if you’ve not been able to get tickets for the family there are still several amazing free events going on in nearby Chelsea,(just a short walk away from the Park Grand London Kensington) such as free workshops, talks and grow your own activities for the little ones.
Open-air theatres
All through the month of May, you’ll be able to catch a performance from the people behind Shakespeare’s Globe or pay a visit to Regent’s Park to see an array of plays carried out during the afternoon and into the early evening.
Enjoy an Indian afternoon tea with us before grabbing a picnic blanket and heading over to catch a performance this bank holiday; we’re sure you won’t be disappointed!
Covent Garden May Fayre and Puppet Festival
For a few performances that the kids are going to love, why not pop over to Covent Garden to help Mr Punch celebrate his 356th birthday at the May Fayre and Puppet Festival?
This event brings together puppeteers from all over the world and is just a short Tube ride away from the Park Grand London Kensington, so it’s easy to get to and you can enjoy the novelty of using London’s underground network if you’re a first time visitor.
