Its just opposite us on Boston Manor rd and is a lovely large park which backs on to the canal. You can walk down the side of the canal all the way into little Italy in central London, although it is a long walk, but canal walks are a way to get away from the bustle of the city and stop at a few pubs along the way. There are also bikes for hire around the area and the canal towpaths are also good for cycling.

Arts & Culture
The summer palace of King Henry VIII is a great day out and a must see thing to do on any visit to London if you love history, architecture and gardens. In the summer you can take a boat along the Thames to the Palace in the same way the Kings and Queens have travelled over the centuries.

Oxford street is the iconic shopping street in London, although there are many, and the Piccadilly line runs right to Oxford Circus taking you to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and all of your favourite high street stores.
