Healthy pursuits in London

 I have been living abroad in Hong Kong for the last six months, having lived in or near London my whole life. It's been exciting, fun and busy, and because of the person I am (a health and fitness fanatic, that also enjoys 'the good life') I have been tirelessly pursuing the wellbeing scene out here. Digging out health hideaways and fitness treasures in the most unlikely of places has become a full time job (a world peace cafe in the heart of Hong Kong's red light district was an unlikely find) and I have loved every minute of it... But now that I have been here for four months I have unexpectedly begun really missing all the wonderful healthy activities and restaurants that London holds in it's hands. It's been an eye opener in that it has given me a new found appreciation for how easy it is to be healthy in London. Here are a few of my gems:

Daylesford Organic: For their almond milk lattes and brunch on a Saturday.

A run in Hyde Park: Possibly the best thing you can do on a summer evening when the TV is worse than rubbish.

The Third Space: A gym in London's beating heart, Picadilly Circus, that has a swimming pool, climbing wall and oxygen chamber.
Wholefoods, Kensington: 

Step inside their world of organic goodness and you will never want to leave. Have lunch in their upstairs food hall where there is a range of delicious and healthy international food.
A Le Pain Quotidien picnic on Hampstead Heath: 

Grab an organic open sandwich (half the bread, twice as much filling = no brainer), team with their house lemonade (or bottle of organic wine if it's raining) and sit and watch the world go by on this most wonderful patch of grass.
Rowing in Putney: Easy to join, but training is hard and sessions can start early, or go on late. But as Ratty once said "lots to be done, plenty of fun, when you're messing about on the river".

 Enjoy!
