Our top picks close to this hotel
For families
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground was opened in 2000 with a fantastically large pirate ship on a ‘beach’ for kids to set sail on along with their imaginations to help them swab the decks and brace the main sail. An assortment of other wooden tree houses, frames and tepee’s are also on the site making for a fun and active day out. Just remember to pack the picnic!

Visit the Peter Pan Statue near the Long Water in Kensington Gardens and take a long hand in hand stroll down memory lane. That said, it is also classic first date territory, the gardens here also make for a lovely and relaxed meander.
