A London Girlies Guide to Fall

By: Sophia Wheway 

London

Let’s be real: there’s nothing better than an autumn day in London. The crisp air, golden leaves, and cozy vibes just hit differently. 


If you’re anything like me, your perfect fall day includes a mix of fitness, food, and a little retail therapy to round it all off. I’ve got the ultimate guide to help you nail the perfect London autumn day—cool-girl style, of course!


Pilates: A London Girl’s Holy Grail (Especially at Heartcore)


In my opinion, every autumn morning should start with a big stretch at Pilates. How else would you set yourself up for success? We're not sure. London’s packed with amazing boutique workout classes, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Heartcore in St John’s Wood. It’s the coziest little spot, but don’t let the cute vibes fool you—the workout is anything but demure and will definitely build up an appetite for lunch!

(Pro tip: No hot girl workout is complete without fuel- don’t skip breakfast, instead use these 3 Quick & Easy Healthy Breakfast Recipes). 


An Autumnal Stroll Through Regents Park


The perfect cooldown after a feisty Pilates session is a very slow stroll—a crawl, if need be—through Regents Park. Just be sure to avoid the swans, as they might be even more aggressive than that reformer machine you just conquered! There’s something about the crisp autumn air and the smell of fresh leaves that just gets me every time.


A Well-Deserved Treat: How Matcha


After all that hard work, a snack is definitely in order! My favorite spot? How Matcha, tucked away in Marylebone. It’s the perfect place to refuel with a delicious matcha treat (PSA: Get the Matcha Cookie—thank me later!).



Every London girl knows that the ultimate autumn lunch spot is Chiltern Firehouse. Yup, it’s all about getting cozy in one of London’s oldest and chicest restaurants. My go-to? The Vodka Pizza Pie—an absolute must-try! And I can’t forget to give an honorable mention to the Chopped Salad.


Shopping in Marylebone


No autumn day in London is complete without a little retail therapy, and Marylebone is the perfect spot to indulge. Be sure to swing by Space NK for all the beauty must-haves—it’s a treasure trove for skincare and makeup lovers. And don’t miss Daunt Books. It’s like stepping into a fairytale, with its gorgeous wooden shelves and endless rows of books that’ll make any cozy afternoon complete. Make sure you don’t skip out on the adorable independent shops up and down the high street, grabbing elevated basics are exactly what a shopping day calls for! Grab a good read and head home, ready to wind down after your perfect London autumn day. 

Top tip: The Daunt Books tote bag is the ultimate signal of a local "it" girl, so snag one and show it off!
