What I’m Enjoying in London…

Springtime is a perfect opportunity to celebrate nature, particularly if you visit the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Imagine the cherry trees blooming by the Temperate House, bluebells flourishing in the Natural Area behind the Palm House, and magnificent magnolias lining Princess Walk, beckoning for photographs. Caring for biodiversity is essential in the climate conversation, and it’s important to embrace our planet while also minimizing our carbon footprint.

One exciting experience is the BBC Earth Experience located in Earl’s Court. Here, Sir David Attenborough narrates a compelling multi-screen immersion that transports you to all seven continents in just under an hour. You can experience the stunning aurora borealis and come face-to-face with the incredible wildlife of Antarctica, all while remaining local. Tickets are priced at £22 for children and £28.50 for adults.

Another highlight is the Treehouse Hotel in London, ideally located just a short walk from Regent’s Park. The rooftop bar and terrace offer unbeatable views of the city skyline. Their Spring Blossoms package provides guests with a £20 credit at The Nest, where I suggest trying their Ethical Pornstar cocktail, crafted with eco-friendly ingredients from Sapling Spirits.

As someone who once traveled internationally for work frequently, I am now focusing on local experiences. A particularly intriguing option is the Ethiopian Flavours Tour available at Shepherds Bush Market. This tour, run by Intrepid Urban Adventures in collaboration with Women in Travel, is hosted by Sefanit, a former refugee. Participants can learn about the traditions of Ethiopia, culminating in a unique Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
