Last month I really enjoyed sharing with you some suggestions for enjoying the quieter side of London from some other London bloggers and instagrammers. I am very happy to be back again this month, to introduce you to Slow Living London who has some excellent suggestion for spending a quiet day in Richmond upon Thames. Richmond is such pretty part of town and I feel sure you will want to add it to your list of quiet London places to visit.
Slow Living London
Slow Living London is a lifestyle website which oozes a calm and quiet aesthetic. There is an overriding sense of tranquilty in the midst of a busy city with Slow Living London. With its aim to inspire people to live better rather than faster, and an emphasis on slowing down and making more conscious decisions about wellbeing and caring for the planet, there is much to inspire. You will find articles on slow travel, sustainability and and London. If like me you are keen to discover the quieter places in London where you can pause a while, then I urge you to stroll over to the Slow Living London Website. I know you will love it.
“Slow Living LDN. is all about living better, not faster in the capital. London is a fast-paced city but there are plenty of quiet places to discover when you know where to look. Some of the best are those that give you a good dose of nature without even leaving the city.
If you’ve got a day to spare, Richmond makes for a brilliant place to escape. Start with a leisurely brunch (No 1a Duke Street is a great choice), then take a walk along the picturesque riverside and end up at Petersham Nurseries, where slow food and beautiful homewares meet. Once you’ve had your plant fix, continue to Richmond Park to go deer-spotting. Finally, enjoy a cup of tea with a view across the Thames Valley at Pembroke Lodge.”
