London: Nature-friendly destination
By April, spring sets in the UK capital. The coldest months are over and you are likely to find sunshine and a few rain showers. For those who are visiting the city for the first time, going to the London Wetland Centre in the south-west, or any of the city farms, zoos or nature reserves would be a good idea to spot ducklings, chicks and other spring arrivals this month. You can sit back and enjoy a boat trip on the Thames.
Marking the Queen’s birthday
Although the Queen celebrates her official birthday in June, her actual birthday is April 21. Listen out for gun salutes being fired in central London to mark the occasion. One usually takes place at Hyde Park and another at the Tower of London.
Easter attractions
Many activities will be organised for the entire family, including egg hunts and interactive exhibitions, over the Easter weekend from April 19 to 22 at various attractions in the city. Keep an eye out for Easter-themed afternoon teas. Since most shops here do not open on Easter Sunday, there may be reduced public transport over this weekend.
