Banu DnzrSeptember 22, 2015Gardens of Kensington palace allows people to enjoy the nature and warmth on sunny days. There are a lot of people walking, running, cycling or just lying down and chatting. A peaceful atmosphere.
Nilson RogérioMarch 6, 2015IMO the place which deserves the word 'gardens' in its title more than any other in Central London - of course, as Kew Gardens and Hampton Court would definitely take the prize, Great London-wise. ;)Upvoted Feb 26
Akin OJuly 19, 2013A very big and busy park in a serene part of London. There are lots of attractions and a very good place to just go on meditation or outdoor picnic during summer.

Simon WilsonMay 6, 2018Excellent for walks, with really wide paths. Lots of grassed areas to sit and play on. Beware the bikers, who seem to weave in and out of pedestrians.Upvoted Feb 26
Lesego MosehlaAugust 18, 2014Come here on ur lazy day or whenever u feel like taking a long walk, bring bread for the ducks, doves and swans.
- Levent AkgermanDecember 4, 2016A coffee shop by the park's border is a great spot to watch the beautifully designed Baroque-era type gardens. Princess Diana memorial playground is great for kids, but beware the crowd on weekends.
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼February 26, 2020At the Kensington Tour, try the Delicious Fresh Grapes & Sparkling Lemonade here! Take a rest after 1 hour standing & walking tour here. They have outdoor seatings.
KarenMay 26, 2023Absolutely stunning. So much to see and do. Have a picnic here when it's warm or take a long stroll, or just sit on a bench and let your mind wander as you people watch. What happy gardens.
SerraduraMarch 7, 2015Good place to relax after shopping on Kensington high street. Large green spaces and a nice pond with many ducks and swans.
Cold in the winter with a snappy wind that comes across the pond, even so its so beautiful here in all seasons my favourite place to take my daily exercise
Benjamin WhartonJuly 31, 2017Lovely big grassed areas, perfect for picnics and enjoying the little bit of sunshine that comes through summer
New York HabitatJune 29, 2012This is a beautiful park that has a large duck pond and leafy trees. The green scenery will make you feel relaxed and take your mind off the busy streets of London!
Melanie RapJune 20, 2013If the sun is out, jump on the tube and head here!just enjoy and go and check the baby ducklins out!you can hire bikes and ride round or just walk and enjoy!

Karolina KellyAugust 30, 2016Huge park right next to Hyde park. Just take something to eat and drink, lay down and relax.
Squirrels are a bit more shy here, but still a great place where to smoke my pipe in peace.
Pınar ŞahinJanuary 13, 2015Take a long walk here, visit Peter Pan's statue, sit near the lake and read your book.

"Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising."
