Alfresco fun in London on Khoollect

Summer's almost here, which means alfresco dining season is well underway. If you read 'my pick of picnic spots' post from earlier this week, then you'll know there's nothing I like more than bundling up some delicious snacks, a rug and heading out to a nearby park with a bunch of friends. Lucky for me, London has a great alfresco dining culture, and that's what we've been exploring over on Khoollect this week. Here's my Editor's picks:

Picnics should be a stress-free affair, but if you need a little help planning your next outdoors get-together, including what to eat, what to pack, and where to meet, then take a peek at Khoollect's handy tips for perfecting the picnic.

There's nothing better to quench your thirst on a warm summer's day than a delicious bevy of homemade lemonades. We've compiled five throw-together recipes, perfect to make quickly inside and take outdoors. There's everything from watermelon and mint to sage and blackberry, lavender and honey, and more.

Londoners are spoilt for choice when it comes to inviting green spaces to walk, talk, relax and dine. Take a look at some of our favourites outdoor escapes and add them to your 'to-visit' list next time you're in town.

Finally, we've put together a hotlist of Instagrammers inspiring us to get outside and enjoy all that London has to offer. Whether it's shopping, sight-seeing, eating at home or outdoors, our list of 'grammers is sure to influence your choosing of alfresco activities.

Remember to pop over to the Khoollect forum, say hello and tell us about your favourite things to do during the London summer.
