British Travel Journal | Spring 2020
Eco-friendly tourism is at the top of our 2020 travel agenda. We have introduced a new Sustainable Travel series, kicking off this issue with ideas for Environmental Volunteering, in an eco-conscious quest of our own, we have discovered a supplier of recyclable paper wraps for sending our magazines in the mail. Next issue we will be featuring the UK’s finest eco-friendly holiday homes so, if you know of any hidden gems you are happy to share, please get in touch. Back to this issue - our 10 of The Best Charity Challenges, are sure to inspire. From cycling across Britain to skydiving from 15,000 feet, you can raise some vital charity donations while pushing yourself to your limits. The World Pilot Gig Championships is a seaside spectacle like no other on The Isles of Scilly this May, and we go Behind-the-Scenes ahead of The Cheltenham Festival, this March. Other destinations we uncover this season include the beautiful Lake District, spending a wonderful 48 Hours in St Mawes and the Roseland, an adventure packed weekend on The Isle of Man, and, arguably with the best views in London, our In the Capital series this season takes us to discover the highlights of leafy Greenwich. As always I hope this issue helps to inspire your travel experiences, and the spring season brings you many magical moments spent savouring the glorious British Isles - wherever you choose to visit.

If climbing The O2 isn’t enough of a thrill, how<br />
about having dinner at a table suspended 100<br />
feet in the air? London in the Sky will hoist you<br />
and your fellow diners up for a three course<br />
meal complete with unique views of the capital’s<br />
skyline (May-July). londoninthesky.co.uk<br />
For a proper London lunch, it’s hard to beat<br />
Goddards. On the edge of Greenwich Market, it’s<br />
a traditional pie and mash shop with a selection<br />
of pies (including veggie and vegan options) and<br />
plenty of seating. goddardsatgreenwich.co.uk<br />
The Trafalgar Tavern has amazing views of<br />
the river, and is a great spot for a sundowner on a<br />
spring evening. trafalgartavern.co.uk<br />
Founded in 1999, Meantime Brewery was<br />
ahead of the curve on craft beer. You can visit<br />
the brewery and shop on Lawrence Trading<br />
Estate, and also have a pint in the Meantime<br />
pub, the Greenwich Union, on Royal Hill.<br />
