Hi Everyone, For those who've been to London, you already know that when it comes to public parks, this city really knows what they're doing.From sunningand picnics in the summer, to brisk, refreshing walks in the winter, there's always a reason or two to visit one of London's parks. Earlier this month I posted about my London City Guide, which if you're planning on going soon, it's definitely worth a read. A recommendation on London would not be complete without highlighting this city's amazing public parks, so for today's post, I'll be giving them a special spotlight. To kick the day off, though I'd suggest breakfast and a walkthrough Notting Hill.

As I mentioned, London's parks are incredible, so to showcase them in a truly classic British way, I donned a few beautiful blazers from Great Britain's heritage bespoke brand, Huntsman. It felt like the 'proper' way to experience the parks.

HYDE PARK

Without question, London's Hyde Park is one of the greatest city parks in the world. Covering 350 acres and wellover 4,000 trees, a large lake, and a meadow, there’s a good chance you’ll loose track of time as you make your way through it. Gray Malin in Huntsman Savile Row

This navy single breasted sports jacket was created in my dreams. It fit perfectly and the gold anchor buttons gave it a very chic nautical feel. The day was beautiful, too. It was early October, so the air was brisk but the sun was out, so it was perfection.

HYDE PARK PATHWAYS

If you're not lounging, a great way to cover some serious ground is to hop on a bike and cruise through the pathways of Hyde Park. Then, take a break at one of the restaurants on the grounds, and follow it with a stroll through the Italian Gardens. Perhaps, share a few leftovers with a feathery friend or two.

Keep heading on the paths, and you'll come upon the lake, which is full of elegant swans. They're open to snacking on your leftovers, too. Hyde Park London Gray Malin Aerial Park series Hyde Park, London Gray Malin in Huntsman Savile Row at Hyde Park in London

Apparently, there's ice skating in November and December, too. How fun would that be to check out? If I went, I would be wearing this charcoal flannel single breasted blazer from Huntsman, just saying. Up next...

KENSINGTON PALACE GARDENS

How fashionable would it be to attend a garden party here? It would be such a magical event, chasing shadows through the hedges and enjoying the beauty.

For now, the garden party at Kensington Palace Gardens is just a fantasy, but who knows..anything is possible, right? No matter what, you've got to always dress the part, and I have to say I loved wearing such an iconic London brand,Huntsman, with it's classic lines and bespoke tailoring while strolling the grounds. To see more from Huntsman, check them out here and to see more from my Aerial Parkseries, you can see more from London as well as Barcelona and New York right here.
