The beach and the pier Cheval Three Quays will be ready for you summer 2014 in London Brighton is a town on the south coast of England, just under 100 miles from London.

Duck & Waffle Cheval Three Quays  is close to Duck & Waffle Restaurant.  Brunch -  is a meal eaten between breakfast and lunch, and is a substitute for both these meals. The word is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch. Now THAT'S what we call a fantastic invention.  Brunch is a ritual that fits summer perfectly. Either on Saturday to start the weekend or on Sunday for a late breakfast after a night out, brunch is a moment to relax and enjoy the best of the weekend. Here are some of the best places to have brunch in London: Caravan , Clerkenwell Caravan offers a weekend brunch menu to rival any in London in a relaxed and effortlessly cool setting on Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell.

Cheval Calico House is a 10 minute drive away from Gordon's Wine Bar - view the map here . Gordon Wine's Bar is among the oldest bars in London. Established in 1890, it is one of the rare bar that started selling wine without a License, in agreement with Edward III's Vintner Charter. It is sometimes impossible to escape one's destiny ! As its name implies, the bar is the property of Gordon families. The bar was bought by 2 families named Gordon, whose descendants were different. It was first owned by Angus Gordon in 1890, and bought by Luis Gordon in 1975. Gordon's Wine Bar Mon - Sat : 11am - 11pm Sun : Noon - 10pm The Frenglish Culture and the authentique decor makes the atmosphere unique.

They don't need them, and the proof is that they received TripAdvisor...

Hyde Park Cheval Hyde Park Gate is a few steps from Hyde Park in London Summer is just a few days away and the urge to stay every possible second outside starts to grow on us. The sun, the brise combined with friends, the loved one or even just by yourself, the parks are the best way to enjoy summer. To read a book, relax, enjoy a snack with friends (have you seen our post about summer wines ?) or get a little sun tanned, big parks or little ones are the best option to get the best out of this much waited season.  Luckily, London has many parks and gardens to enjoy the sun. Here is the top 5 parks not to be missed when spending the sunny days in the city. And if you don't have time to stay in the park, at least try to pass through them during the day. It is just worth it as the famous attractions.  Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens Hyde Park is one of the largest parks that London has to offer. Located in central London, the park provides visitors a peacef...
