It's been a long, grey, and appallingly wet winter, even by London standards. But don't finalise your emigration plans just yet. Spring is nearly here, and that means this city is filling up with spirit-lifting flower displays and enough sun to make even the dullest street look pretty. Better still, we're due two glorious Bank Holidays when we can soak up whatever precious rays of sun come our way.
Friday April 3 (Good Friday) and Monday April 6 (Easter Monday) are both public holidays. Lots of Londoners will be escaping the city for an Easter minibreak. Stick around and you'll be rewarded with tons of free events designed to help you squeeze every drop of fun out of your precious time off. Get competitive at one of London's many egg hunts. Check out some highly photogenic flower displays. Visit a museum that's laying on special events. Or just head to your nearest park, beer garden or rooftop bar to soak up whatever rays of sun (hopefully) come our way.
