Pack layers for sunrise movement and evening gatherings

London’s summer offers bright mornings and gentle breezes, but the weather can be unpredictable. If your schedule includes outdoor Pilates or sunset yoga along the Thames, layering is essential.

Consider packing:

  • Lightweight, breathable kit: Moisture-wicking tees or yoga bras are perfect for classes or strolls.
  • A mid-layer for early mornings: A Merino jumper or soft-wash sweatshirt can keep you warm during sunrise yoga or riverside meditation.
  • A compact waterproof: London’s showers can be sudden, so a light jacket is handy for quick transitions.

Our rooms at The Tower Hotel, by Thistle provide generous wardrobe space, allowing you to quickly change from business meetings to wellbeing sessions.

 

Hydration: Sustainable solutions on the go

You’ll walk more in London than expected, from the hotel to St. Katharine Docks for a morning stretch or a festival in Wimbledon Park. Staying hydrated supports well being and recovery.

Consider these hydration options:

  • Pack a refillable water bottle: London’s tap water is safe, with Refill London stations conveniently located.
  • Fruit-infuser bottles: Enhance your water with lemon or cucumber.
  • Herbal pick-me-ups: Carry peppermint or green tea sachets for a soothing evening after events.

At The Tower Hotel by Thistle, Brita-filtered water is available on request, ensuring you can prioritise comfort and sustainability.
