Gardens 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 .

A 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.

Nilson Rogério

IMO 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. ;)

Simon Wilson

Excellent 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.

Lesego Mosehla

Come here on ur lazy day or whenever u feel like taking a long walk, bring bread for the ducks, doves and swans .

Karen

Absolutely 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 .

Levent Akgerman

A 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.
