If your latest business trip sees you heading to London, then you’re in luck. As well as being a thriving hub for commerce and international trade, the city is also filled with ways to relax and unwind. This great combination means that with a little forward planning and imagination, you could transform your ‘boring business trip’ into a way of seeing the sights, taking some time for yourself and exploring the UK’s capital.
Here’s our pick of the best ways to fit a little relaxation in to your business trip to London.
Visit a Royal Retreat
A trip to Kew Gardens will give you a chance to see some of the city’s most beautiful plants, in surroundings which are sure to inspire. Many professionals find there’s a lot of waiting around involved in their business trip, and Kew is just a brief train ride away from the city centre. This makes it the perfect spot to get away from it all while you stay at Kensington Park Hotel London. Once there, you can discover some of the science behind the gardens, or simply take in the sights and there are numerous cafes and eating options dotted around to enjoy. For a place so close, it’ll feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Make the Most of Your Hotel Services
If you’ve booked a stay at our Kensington Park Hotel London, you can expect to be spoilt for choice with amenities and special touches. There’s complimentary Wi-Fi to keep you connected through your trip, and the boutique style of the hotel is perfect for business travellers who are seeking a calming retreat in a big city. If your company has opted to make the most of the venue’s meeting and conference rooms, then you’ll also be perfectly placed to simply step from your hotel room to work, and back again. And of course, you can unwind with a great meal at the restaurant and bar, all without having to set foot outside.
Try a Spot of Sailing
Hyde Park’s Serpentine allows for boating trips in the finer weather, with their solar-powered ‘Solarshuttle’, a first in the UK powering along the river. Silent and scenic, this trip will provide great respite in one of the city’s landmark royal parks. It’s a wonderful way to relax while you’re in the city for business and ideal for filling a free afternoon during your visit to the UK’s capital.
Pack Your Walking Shoes
From your Kensington Hotel London you’ll be close to lots of areas which are perfect for walking. You certainly don’t need to travel by car in this part of the city, but ensuring you’ve kitted out with the right walking attire helps to stop aching feet during long waits between business commitments. This also allows you to incorporate some healthy habits into your time away. Going for a run or a jog will allow you to see London like a local, and help you unwind before getting back to business.
