Where to unwind
Green spaces are never far away, from the English Garden to quieter neighbourhood parks dotted around the city. On warm days, locals gather by the riverbanks to relax and watch the water. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for peaceful walks, when paths are calmer and the light is softer.
