When planning my days I wanted to gather a bit of information about things around the city that are free - after all at 19 and with an excessive shopping addiction I do not have the money to spend every day.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003ESo firstly in this series is Clapham Common - one of the loveliest parks in the SW area. With the great weather coming up there will be people flocking to Clapham Common - and you should join them. There are many different things you can spend your day doing in the sun; perhaps try a picnic (by picnic I mean Pimms) or perhaps read a book.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-pmH9IJDeUWk\/VTEJEP7hNbI\/AAAAAAAAIoA\/2adS9EOa-rw\/s1600\/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BLondon%2Bfor%2Bfree%2B6.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-pmH9IJDeUWk\/VTEJEP7hNbI\/AAAAAAAAIoA\/2adS9EOa-rw\/s1600\/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BLondon%2Bfor%2Bfree%2B6.JPG\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EIf perhaps you're not fancying the above then perhaps arrange for a group of you to go there and simply hang out - perhaps a disposable barbecue alongside a portable speaker to bring in the summer evenings.

Find a deckchair, buy an ice cream and listen to the music or the sound of people talking. It depends what you enjoy - but its a great place to head to in the summer. The lady at the church in the common said she often enjoys listening to the bands in the summer and just enjoying the common.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EIf you fancy being more active then the common boasts vast areas to run about in, set up some football posts or bring a swing around game.
