00:00So finally we've got nice weather in London, what's your favourite thing to do in a city during the summer?
00:06Well we've just moved down here to Crystal Palace and we've just found a little place that does ice creams
00:11so this is our first ice cream of the season.
00:14We'll probably head down to the park at some point at the weekend and have a few drinks, Covid style.
00:19Yeah, people just generally seem less miserable.
00:22Yeah, I think it's just the sort of general atmosphere of the city.
00:26During the summer I like exploring a lot, so I love going to gardens, I love going exploring parks, gardens.
00:37I just like the nature if I have to be honest and I love London life, night life, like everyone.
00:44I love some summer festivals, I'm looking forward maybe this year.
00:49Yeah, this is what I love, I love life basically.
00:52I like to be around my friends and people where there's nice music, nice vibe and just trying to live a better life
01:00because we have been through a lot the last years with Covid and things, so yeah, being outside for me is my favourite thing.
01:09I think now that I've got a 20-month-old daughter, it's basically going to the parks really.
01:14Crystal Palace Park is really good for children, we've got a Westside Park just down the road.
01:19I mean, to be honest with you now, if I was going to go into London, maybe the South Bank around there,
01:26there's nice areas to eat around there.
01:28There's a walk down the river, down the river bank.
01:33Drinking-wise, yeah, the Covent Garden is quite nice.
01:37So yeah, green spaces to be honest with you, I don't really go into London because I don't have to.
01:42I mean, to avoid the public transport around there in summer and getting back,
01:46it's quite easy for me to walk around here really and have a drink.
01:49Don't have to worry about taxis, walk home with the girlfriend and the baby.
