| Visit London’s Pick of the Week |
Last week, Londoners made the most of the reopening of outdoor pubs and restaurants, leisure venues and non-essential shops, in line with the next phase of the government’s roadmap. This week, we’ve picked the top ten outdoor activities for Londoners. Enjoy an outdoor art installation in Carnaby or take advantage of al fresco drinking and dining with a new rooftop bar, Camden Markets first ever pub and the newly pedestrianised streets of Covent Garden.
