Regent's Park has several playgrounds, but the most interesting is at Hanover Gate where, in 2010, a new timber treehouse area for older kids was built within a large sandpit next to the boating lake.

The concrete-clad, 1960s modernist grandmother of them all: no theatrical tour of London is complete without a visit to the National. Grab a drink from the upper floor bars and take a balcony seat after the performance starts and everyone's enjoying themselves inside. Enjoy the sunset outside!

It's a small theatre and yes you've got good views even from the cheap seats but they are restricted if there are two levels used on stage. You might need to duck...
