When: June 25, 2015 You will know that British people are all about the weather when they always ask "How's the weather?" as a conversation starter.  And when the weather is great ---- especially SUMMER --- the whole town is out and happy and prolly just bathing under the sun in one of the parks. More importantly, big concerts and fun events are happening almost everyday in the parks and Hyde Park is the venue where most of these events happen. The British Summer Time Hyde Park is one of these big events with Street Food, Concerts, to Outdoor Movie Theatres happening all weeklong. Link:   http://www.bst-hydepark.com/

Boots Pharmaceuticals are hosting a once in a lifetime event at 8pm where by they will be releasing 1 million petals into the air for a multicolour sensory display as they help to raise awareness of ‘insneezia’ – night time hayfever. This spectacular display will last around 20 minutes and will have red, blue, yellow and pink petals. Pollen levels are at its peak between 8 and 9pm, due to pollen falling as the sun goes down and the air begins to cool. Boots Pharmaceuticals are inviting you to come down and join in the #SummerGoodTimes and watch the display, dancing is encouraged!

Isle of Wight, UK

How to go there 1) Take a train to Portsmouth or Southampton, and take a passenger ferry to Isle of Wight *** I haven't tried this but you can take a Hovercraft from Portsmouth More info here:  http://southernvectis.goahead.live.pancentric.net/visiting-island/ you can go around Isle of Wight by taking the Needle Breezer (Tour bus) for 10 pounds - Unlimited travel for 24 hours. Compton Beach According to my friend, he read somewhere that this is one of the hidden gems of the Isle of Wight.  The beach has a beautiful view of the Needles and the sunset.  This place is not easily accessible without a car and thus, not so much tourists, but just people who just actually drive there to see the sun set and enjoy the 'peace' and tranquility of the Isle of Wight. Shanklin Beach Prolly one of the more touristy places in Isle of Wight.  The Shanklin beach has a nice promenade (don't expect too much as it is small and just plain simple).
