London is always so busy it’s easy to get stressed out, even when you’re here on vacation. Sometimes you feel you just need somewhere where you can go and chill out and recharge.
However you’re in one of the busiest cities in the world. Beautiful yes, but still an urban jungle. Where can you possible go in London when you just want to chill out, relax, stop for a moment?
Norm did a great post a few months back about the Southbank Sinfonia as a way to miss the mayhem of the rush hour.
That was great for something in the early evening. My suggestion is for somewhere to go during the day.
You might think Oxford Street would be the last place in London where you could do this. But just a couple of minutes from Bond Street station, there’s, as they put it, an oasis of calm.
The Brown Hart Gardens is just the sort of secret London place only residents of the area know about. It’s a 2 minute walk from the station and when you get there. You can just sit and be amazed that a place like this exists here. It’s quiet and the few people that are there are there for the same reasons as you.
A word of warning, with the schools breaking up there will be more families there for the next few weeks. Also some Fridays from 12 noon till 2pm they have live classical music.
This could be your little secret part of London. Enjoy.
Do you know of any other places in London to get away from it all?
Thanks for your time.
