Feeling the heat? You\u2019re not the only one. Temperatures are high throughout Europe and the UK has basked in glorious sunshine for over 6 weeks. Earlier in July, a new record high temperature of over 40\u00b0 was recorded in Lincolnshire and another heatwave is forecast later this week.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not\nsurprisingly, this intense heat isn\u2019t all good. The elderly and vulnerable are\nat risk and water restrictions are gradually being introduced across the\ncountry. Getting around, particularly by tube, feels hot and sticky \u2013 unless,\nof course, you take advantage of London\u2019s great new Elizabeth line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not all bad! Londoners are loving the outdoor lifestyle that the heat brings. Pavement caf\u00e9s are buzzing, restaurants with outdoor tables are booming, and parks and pools are packed. Here are a few ideas to make the most of the summer sun in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brunch, lunch or dine outdoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pick a caf\u00e9 or restaurant with outdoor tables for the best city vibes. Some of our off-the-beaten track favourites for brunch include Brunswick East in Dalston and Milk Beach in Queen\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London\u2019s best swimming spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cool down in one of London\u2019s large open air lidos or more natural spots. Top lidos include the 90m freshwater pool in Tooting Bec, Brockwell Lido in Dulwich and London Field\u2019s Lido. Hampstead Ponds are a favourite spot for local north Londoners but do get very busy when temperatures rise. The West Reservoir in Hackney is ideal for more serious open water swimming, offering a 400m loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore London from the water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty of choice when it comes to exploring London\u2019s waterways. If you like the idea of being behind the wheel, Go Boats<\/a> offer self-drive boats from their bases in Paddington, Canary Wharf and Kingston. Alternatively, pick up a London Waterbus<\/a> in Little Venice and enjoy a live spoken guided tour along the Regent\u2019s Canal. You can also choose from a selection of Thames river boat trips and tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best ice cream in London<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ice-cream bars are springing up all over London and many of them are seriously good. Try the gelato and frozen yoghurt in Gelateria 3bis on the edge of Borough Market, or the mouthwatering gelato produced by Venchi (Hampstead, Covent Garden and Kings Road). Grom (Piccadilly) and Gelateria Danieli in Richmond are also guaranteed to satisfy any ice cream urges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally \u2026 some \u2018hot\u2019 idioms, synonyms and phrases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How many ways do you know to express how hot it is?  We talk about searing <\/strong>or scorching temperatures, sizzling heat<\/strong> and the blazing sun. <\/strong> We also refer to sweltering <\/strong>when temperatures are very high, and frequently talk about baking, boiling<\/strong> or roasting<\/strong> in intense heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
