Bask in the Spring Sunshine: A Perfect London Getaway with The California Hotel

Spring in London is a magical time. As the city shakes off the winter chill, the parks bloom with fresh colours, the cafés set up their outdoor seating, and the sunshine lingers a little longer each day. And where better to soak it all in than at The California Hotel, your stylish and centrally located base for a perfect spring escape?

Whether you're a local looking for a staycation or a traveller eager to explore, here’s how to make the most of the season in London—right from our doorstep.

Morning: A Sunny Stroll & Breakfast Al Fresco

Start your day with a refreshing walk along the Regent’s Canal. Just a short walk from the hotel, this picturesque route winds through Camden and Regent’s Park, offering serene waterside views and vibrant street art.

After working up an appetite, grab a bite at Coal Drops Yard—a trendy spot brimming with independent cafés. Spagnoletti serves up the perfect flat white and a delicious brunch that tastes even better when enjoyed outdoors in the sunshine.

Afternoon: A Blooming Adventure in London’s Parks

Spring is the best time to visit Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, both just a stone’s throw away. The park’s Queen Mary’s Rose Garden bursts into bloom with over 12,000 roses, while Primrose Hill offers sweeping panoramic views of London’s skyline—perfect for a sunny photo op.

For a more immersive floral experience, hop on the Tube to Kew Gardens, where cherry blossoms, magnolias, and daffodils create a stunning seasonal spectacle.

Evening: Golden Hour Drinks & Riverside Magic

As the sun begins to set, there’s no better place to be than by the Thames. Head to South Bank, where you can sip cocktails at a riverside bar while enjoying the golden hour glow over landmarks like the London Eye and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Feeling fancy? Try a Thames sunset cruise for a unique way to see the city bathed in spring light. Then, return to The California Hotel for a cozy nightcap in our welcoming lounge—because after a day of sunshine, there’s nothing better than unwinding in comfort.
