i would go to a park with a lido
somewhere like brockwell park - bit out of the way but still zone 2 so an easy drive or overland train, really nice and far fewer fucking tourists pissing around

or walk all along the river from hammersmith to barnes, then sit in a nice pub and have a drink

richmond is awesome - has beautiful park as well as richmond hill, there is a little boat you get across the river, lovely old garden centre for wandering around (sounds gash but trust me it's stunning) and then you walk across a meadow to an italian ice cream shop and numerous old pubs

also beautiful hotels in richmond = cheaper than central london and still 20 mins on train
so basically, west london rocks

There's a cracking pub crawl along the river from Hammersmith out to the Fullers brewery
used to do it all the time when I was a postgrad. Sunny warm day? fuck the lab. Meet at Hammersmith station at 1pm, let's do it.
