Five of the best restaurants in London parks
Left the picnic behind? Try one of these great eateries
6 May 2009
WITH the heatwave finally back in the capital it's time to start planning some last minute foodie alfresco outings. If you can't face the hassle of picnic packing then why not check out one of these leafy hot spots?
This relaunched Hyde Park cafe is part of a welcome new breed – a hectic but delightful place that doles out appetising food without overcooking the prices.
