Residents in London are being encouraged to vote for Primrose Hill, Postman's Park, Somerset House or Hyde Park as the UK’s favourite picnic spot in this year’s Warburtons Picnic Awards. Warburtons, Britain’s favourite family baker, is hosting the fourth annual awards for the 10th anniversary of National Bread Week, which runs from 3rd to 9th May 2010, to celebrate our love of bread and the great British outdoors.
Up against six other picnic spots across the London region, Primrose Hill, Hyde Park, Postman's Park and Somerset House will battle it out in the regional heat to become London’s ‘Best Picnic Spot’ and will also be given the chance to represent the region in the national final.
During the final heat, the London winner will go on to battle it out against the other regional winners from across the UK for the coveted title of ‘Warburtons Best Picnic Spot 2010’. The overall winner will receive £1,000 cash bursary for the site and a plaque to ensure all visitors know it’s the UK’s top place to picnic. Each regional winner will also be presented with a £500 bursary towards the maintenance of the site, ensuring visitors can continue to enjoy picnics there in future years.

We’re a nation of bread lovers and what better way to enjoy it than whilst exploring the great outdoors. The UK is bursting with beautiful locations and sensational scenery to enjoy so why not treat the family to a day out to one of our picnic hot spots!”
