The weather is still not too cold, the trees have several tons of colors, from green and yellow to brown. It's perfect for a walk in the park and in London there are so many beautiful parks to explore! Laugh of the kids and the dogs playing with leafs in Hyde Park, admire the vine yards of Hampton Court Palace or cross Saint James Park from the Admiralty Arch until the Buckingham Palace!

• The cosy english pubs

During summer, going to a pub feels like a waste of a perfectly enjoyable afternoon outside. Pubs are dark and you need sun to get tanned. Summer is over and it's raining. Pubs are now a good shelter: they are so welcoming, warm and happy places. And there are so many to explore in London! Some of our favorites are: The Anglesea Arms, The Antelope and The Dove.

• Get yourself warm with mulled wine and cider

There is no shame in drinking alcohol when walking through the streets alone if we're talking about mulled wine: a drink made of red wine, juice and spices and served warm. It will warm up your body and soul! And because this is the UK we're talking about, and they have thousands of cider flavors, why not trying mulled cider?

• Don't forget the fish and chips!

Halloween was born in the UK so naturally is quite of a big thing in London! From thematic parties, ghost tours, children playing treat or trick, hunted theater plays, etc!

Just a few days later (remember, remember the 5th of November!) will take place the Bonfire Night! Back in 1605, in this day, was captured a conspirator who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in order to celebrate it, a spectacular show of fireworks takes place every year!

• There are A LOT of free museums

As the weather no longer invites to picnics outside, why not visiting one of London's free museums? There are so many and about so many themes: the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery, the Science Museum, the Imperial War Museum, etc etc!

Are you packing already? Here are some ideas of where to sleep.

See you in London! Cheers mate ;)
