One of the best places to spend sunny Sunday in London. The garden is small but beautiful and peaceful . Bring a book/sketchbook and plan to stay for lunch - the food in the restaurant is great.

Heavenly oasis. Tables for lunch can go quickly so grab one and make sure you keep it! Lunch staff are few so leave time to queue.

I love how the £5 / year rent that Hans Sloane decided upon in 1722 is still being paid to his descendants today. That's such a typically British thing to do :)

HISTORY UK

The garden was leased to the Society of Apothecaries in 1722, so that ‘apprentices may the better distinguish good and useful plants from those that bear resemblance to them and yet are hurtfull.’
