Sip in style at Milestone Hotel Stables Bar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On my last trip to London, I had the amazing opportunity to room in the incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/London-Hotels-The-Milestone-Hotel.h523756.Hotel-Information?chkin=10\/1\/2018&amp;chkout=10\/8\/2018&amp;rm1=a2&amp;sort=recommended&amp;hwrqCacheKey=47307b79-3928-4e90-88fb-c370716f876aHWRQ1532976089856&amp;cancellable=false&amp;regionId=178279&amp;vip=false&amp;hotelname=The+Milestone+Hotel&amp;c=ce291d47-d094-413d-ae96-19fe3aac71bf&amp;&amp;exp_dp=362.06&amp;exp_ts=1532976090050&amp;exp_curr=USD&amp;swpToggleOn=false&amp;exp_pg=HSR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milestone Hotel<\/a>. From the high-end decor to the magnificent service and amenities, it\u2019s been one of my favorite places to stay. Whether or not you\u2019re able to swing a booking at this fine establishment, I couldn\u2019t recommend a trip to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milestonehotel.com\/food-and-drink\/stables-bar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stables Bar<\/a> more. The setup is that of a vintage-inspired speakeasy, right down to the bartenders\u2019 uniforms. While the ambience would be enough reason to visit on its own, the cocktails are just as spectacular. The menu covers everything from their own take on classics like an Old Fashioned to creative originals like The Conservatory: a gorgeous concoction of Gin, Cynar, Lillet Blanc, Fresh Rosemary, and Fresh Thyme. Whether you go with the former, the latter, or something more simple (like my personal favorite, smoked whiskey) it\u2019s going to be fantastic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27190\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27190\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stables-bar-smoked-old-fashioned.jpg\" alt=\"Stables Bar Smoked Old Fashioned\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stables-bar-smoked-old-fashioned.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stables-bar-smoked-old-fashioned-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stables-bar-smoked-old-fashioned-94x150.jpg 94w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27190\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stables Bar Smoked Old Fashioned.

Stroll through Kew Gardens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just a short trip west of London lies UNESCO site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/kew-gardens-tickets.a471786.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=London,+England,+United+Kingdom&amp;startDate=2018-07-26&amp;endDate=2018-07-27&amp;latLong=51.507538,-0.127804&amp;rid=178279&amp;pageNumber=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s4\">Kew Gardens<\/span><\/a>, the world\u2019s most substantial compilation of living plants. The extensive, 300-acre property features greenhouses, art galleries, water features, lined walkways, and formal gardens. You can choose to spend just a few hours there or make an entire day of it; you\u2019re never going to run out of beautiful places to rest your eyes. As for getting there, I would highly recommend taking advantage of the city\u2019s great public transit. Depending on where you\u2019re leaving from, there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s going to get you there more quickly and easily than a car.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Bike the park or glide through the water<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to enjoy the great outdoors but prefer not to leave London, there are still plenty of options available to you. How does a bicycle ride through Battersea Park with a picnic lunch sound to you? Or, perhaps, a lovely afternoon boat ride on The Serpentine in Hyde Park? Of course, you can always choose to stick to a group with one of the many bicycle tours and cruises over the Thames the city has to offer. So long as the sun is shining, you\u2019re bound to have a memorable day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27204\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27204\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park.jpg\" alt=\"The Serpentine in Hyde Park\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Serpentine-in-Hyde-Park-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27204\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Serpentine in Hyde Park.

From Tuesday to Saturday, during the summer months, you can enjoy a sunset cruise followed by a movie under the stars on the top deck of your ship. Film choices range from romantic classics like <i>Casablanca<\/i> to fun sci-fi like <i>Back to the Future<\/i>. With a embarkation time of 9pm, this interesting twist on a normal activity could easily make either the perfect end to a perfect day or an exciting start to an exciting night.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Visit the countryside<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, sometimes you really do need a vacation from your vacation. If you find yourself needing a bit of a break from the hustle and bustle of London, consider taking a visit to the countryside. Even if you\u2019re not looking to travel far (but maybe a little further than Kew Gardens) there are tons of options for places to visit. For those in a romantically nostalgic kind of mood, a scenic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/lake-district-day-trip-with-english-cream-tea.a169776.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=London,+England,+United+Kingdom&amp;startDate=2018-07-26&amp;endDate=2018-07-27&amp;latLong=51.507538,-0.127804&amp;rid=178279&amp;pageNumber=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s4\">day trip to the Lake District<\/span><\/a> is probably exactly what you\u2019re looking for.

Located quite close to where the original used to stand, the recreation is host to classes, lectures, tours and, of course, its namesake\u2019s productions. Shows are running nearly all the time and tickets are pretty reasonable (score!). Just make sure to book in advance as this is unsurprisingly an experience that regularly sells out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>8.&nbsp; Take time for tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never participated in a traditional afternoon tea before, you\u2019re totally missing out. You get to have a little break in your day, enjoy some sweets and snacks, and you\u2019re left completely perked up thanks to the perfect amount of caffeine. Finding a place to take your tea in London is far from a difficult thing to do. In fact, many of the tours listed above have a version that will include it in some way, shape, or form. The important thing is that you include it <i>at least<\/i> once or twice on your trip.

Follow the road<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And, now, probably one of the most important things a person can do on any trip: following wherever the road takes you. Or some version of that, anyway. When you\u2019re doing your planning, make sure to leave yourself some time to go out and explore. The touristy stuff is always fun to see and mark off of the bucket list. However, I\u2019m of the opinion that you\u2019ve never truly visited a place unless you experience it the way the locals do, even if it\u2019s just for a little while. Start with a stroll around the hotel, or walk to your set destinations when you can. See a shop you like? Pop in or mark it down for later. If you\u2019re still at a loss for where to go or what to do, consider getting a bird\u2019s-eye view and picking an area to explore via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/the-london-pass-80-attractions-on-1-card.a169503.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=London+(and+vicinity),+England,+United+Kingdom&amp;startDate=2018-08-01&amp;endDate=2018-08-08&amp;categories=Sightseeing+Passes&amp;sortBy=ExpediaPicks&amp;pageNumber=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s2\">The Shard<\/span><\/a>.
