When I wake up to a warm sunny day and look out the window which shows a view of a park behind my flat, I often see people in their bathing suits. Laying on the grass and bathing in the sun at parks in London is Londoners’ way to go to the ‘beach.’

London has many parks spread throughout the city, giving people opportunities not only to soak in the sun, but also to play games and sports, have picnics and socialize with friends. It’s a place where people can escape the bustling life without leaving the city.
