With September 23rd marking the Autumn Equinox, we’ve compiled the best ways to celebrate the new season in London

Sunday lunch at The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe

A long, lazy lunch with family and friends is the ultimate antidote to any post-summer blues. Head to The Swan at Shakespeare’s iconic Globe Theatre for one of the restaurants generous traditional roasts, using locally sourced and seasonal produce. Located on the Southbank, The Swan offers views across the River Thames to St Paul’s Cathedral, providing a picturesque spot to spend a cosy Sunday.

Autumnal walk through Hampstead Heath

There’s something magical about the changing seasons, and the arrival of autumn will hopefully see bright blue skies, crisp fresh air and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet becoming a daily occurrence. Head north of The Marylebone for an escape from the city only 20 minutes away. With its wild meadows and dense woodland areas, it’s the perfect quiet spot to admire the changing colours of the trees as the new season arrives. The bathing ponds - mens, womens and mixed – are open throughout the autumn months too, although with temperatures averaging at 15°C, it’s not an activity for the fainthearted!

An evening of debauchery at The Bloomsbury Club Bar

Say goodbye to the summer pub garden and hello to the Cocktail Diviner to The Bloomsbury Club Bar: a new set of 14 cocktails corresponding to the 14 states of mind or being. Upon arrival at the bar, guests must allow the Diviner to guide their emotions, exposing their secret yearnings and allowing it to provide a perfect tonic to their state of mind. Once matched with our cocktail, you’re free to settle in to the luxurious confines of the bar, with plush leather armchairs, atmospheric lighting and wall-to-wall bookshelves creating a decadent and atmospheric space to unwind on an Autumn evening.
