Visit an iconic building
Even before it was redeveloped and reopened, Battersea Power Station was worth checking out – the massive brick building is hugely impressive and imposing, and it's no wonder it's been immortalised on album covers and elsewhere. Since the relaunch, however, it's steadily climbing the ranks of London's top attractions. You can learn about the building's history, take a lift up one of the chimneys, take advantage of the numerous leisure and dining options, and more.

Observe free-roaming deer
A herd of deer rambling through the early morning mist in Richmond Park is one of the most majestic sights in London. The deer roam freely throughout the park, though how likely you'll see them changes with the seasons. Even if you miss out, however, London's largest Royal Park is perfect for a day out in nature, with vast green spaces to stroll through, have a picnic, play some outdoor sports, and the like.
