Explore, Discover and Experience New Things in South Ken
It still feels like winter but as the days begin to get a little longer, it's a great time to explore London's green spaces with the Royal Park's Walking Tours.
If you are looking for a little retail therapy, discover some great designs in the shops at Japan House London and the Design Museum - particularly the eye-catching Amy:Beyond the Stage exhibition range.
For a wet day, we recommend experiencing the indulgence of the Royal Albert Hall's Afternoon tea and a tour of this iconic and unique building. Or put your feet up and enjoy some great films at one of London's best independent cinemas, Ciné Lumière.
And just a reminder, here's our Feb half-term guide to what's on.
