They say everyone becomes a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. So whether you check out the parade on Sunday, drink Guinness all night on Monday, wear green or just go green, be sure to embrace your inner Leprechaun.
The Parade on Sunday
The parade kicks off at noon at Hyde Park corner, heads down Piccadilly, down Regent Street to Trafalgar Square, and ends at Whitehall Place. And since you're out and about, be sure to check out the festivals taking place in Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Covent Garden.
Drink Guinness All Night
Just make sure you're in the right place. Our top spots:
Or head out for oysters with your Guinness (or Black Velvet - half champagne, half Guinness):
Wear Green
It's gonna rain this weekend. Pull out your Hunter green wellies and let puddles worry someone else.
Go Green
Check out the Affordable Art Fair (which ends on Sunday the 16th) in the well-watered green of Battersea Park. Or buy this fabulous Twig Bench from Nigel's Eco Store, and bring some of the great outdoors in.
