ADVENTURER’S LIFESTYLE
From quirky museums and adventure parks, to outdoor play areas and green spaces, there are plenty of great family attractions just a short walk or brief drive away from Grand Sapphire Hotel. What’s more, the hotel is only a 7 minutes’ drive from East Croydon Station, giving you quick and easy access to all of Central London’s top attractions, too!
Croydon boasts an abundance of parks, gardens and other green spaces where you can stretch your legs, burn off some energy and get close to nature. For example, check out nearby Park Hill Recreation Ground, a former deer park that is now equipped with splendid gardens, a playground and a variety of sports facilities, or head to the massive Lloyd Park, where you can wander through mature woodland, play sports and games or hang out in the play area – perfect for a relaxing family day out.
Croydon has innumerable options; from singles to couples and for families alike. Take your family to the award-winning indoor play centre that is Kidspace Croydon, or check out the fun weekly workshops and family activities available in the Museum of Croydon.
EXPLORE LONDON
Europe's number one city break destination, London is an ever-changing dynamic city of nearly nine million people. Immersed in history, London's rich seams of eye-opening antiquity are everywhere.
The city's buildings are striking milestones in a unique and beguiling biography, and a great many of them – the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben – are instantly recognisable landmarks.
There’s more than enough innovation (the Shard, the Tate Modern extension, the Sky Garden) to put a crackle in the air, but it never drowns out London’s seasoned, centuries-old narrative. Architectural grandeur rises up all around you in the West End, ancient remains dot the City and charming pubs punctuate the historic quarters, leafy suburbs and river banks. Take your pick.
OUTSIDE LONDON: A TALE OF TWO CITIES
London is as much about wide-open vistas and leafy landscape escapes as it is high-density, sight-packed urban exploration.
Central London is where the major museums, galleries and most iconic sights congregate, but visit Hampstead Heath or the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to flee the crowds and frolic in wide open green expanses. You can also venture further out to Kew Gardens, Richmond or Hampton Court Palace for beautiful panoramas of riverside London followed by a pint in a quiet waterside pub.
