Holland Park
This is a favourite location with Julia, who likes to walk to the park 'for an easy, relaxed picnic'. In the summer, choose an evening when the opera season is on (www.operahollandpark.com) and 'enjoy wonderful music in the background, a good bottle of wine and then walk home', she adds.
DetailsThe park is between Holland Park Avenue and Kensington High Street, in west London (http://ind.pn/izYUj1)
