Podcast Episode Summary
Everyone who lives or works in and around the big city sometimes needs a break from crowded tube trains, hectic offices, busy pavements and packed cafés. All too often though we don’t take the time to seek out oases in the city to relax and reflect - whether it’s seeking out a romantic hideaway, tranquil retreat or simply somewhere to eat your lunch for half an hour in peace.
You wouldn’t think it but there are more than 500 secluded idylls in London only a short walk from the hustle and bustle – meaning virtually all workers in the capital are only five minutes away from a green space of some kind. Squares, gardens and heritage sites are dotted around the Capital – oases to spend some well-earned ‘me time’ or mingle and relax with friends.
Summer is the ideal time of year to discover these secret spots, and as you start exploring you’ll soon find they take on entirely new characters as we move through the seasons, providing ever-changing places of sanctuary from the hectic pace of modern life – and with only one-in-six UK workers currently taking a regular lunch break, what better time to get back to nature!
In this video feature, Ben Fogle teams up with Nature Valley to take us on a journey in and around Holborn to discover the delights of several locations including CoramÂ’s Fields and Russell Square Gardens.
