London Gardens

Lonond has many classic gardens to visit, each offering a peaceful haven from the hustle and bustle of a busy city.
Postman's Park
If you've seen the film Closer with Natalie Portman, you've already seen Postman's Park but it's unlikely you'll find it in many guidebooks. It's a small area of greenery in the busy City of London area and is close to St. Paul's Cathedral and the Museum of London. Find out why you should stop by and see photos of what you'll see.
Kensington Roof Gardens
Kensington Roof Gardens is London's equivalent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. In the unlikely location 100ft above street level, on top of a department store building in the busy Kensington shopping area, you'll find a Spanish garden, a Tudor garden, an English woodland garden and resident flamingos!
Lincoln's Inn Fields
Lincoln's Inn Fields is the largest public square in London.
Brown Hart Gardens
Brown Hart Gardens in Mayfair London is not well-known but once you find it you will cherish it's tranquility. Only a short walk from Selfridges and Oxford Street, Brown Hart Gardens is a raised paved area used by local people, workers and visitors to Mayfair during the day for a quiet lunchtime sandwich or to read in peace.
Chelsea Physic Garden
Situated in the heart of London, this 'Secret Garden' is a centre of education, beauty, and relaxation. Founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, it continues to research the properties, origins, and conservation of over 5000 species.
Museum of Garden History
The Museum of Garden History aims to enhance understanding and appreciation of the history and development of gardening in the UK.
