Also:
If you’re not running, why not go check out the new Lola’s cupcakes store in Mayfair. You know that we are fans. Besides the terrific cupcakes, the whole place is also a great story also about how two twentysomething girls started their own hugely successful business.
Then transition to a football game and/or Sunday roast at the Prince Albert pub overlooking Battersea Park. It should be perfect park weather this weekend.
