Gardens in London

Many of the most wonderful gardens in England can be found here in London

Kensington Gardens

The area covering both Kensington Gardens and the adjoining Hyde Park were once Henry VIII's hunting ground. Later in the 17th century, Kensington Gardens was designed as a garden for William III's new home, Kensington Palace.

Victoria Embankment Gardens

This is a small but attractively set out garden next to the Victoria Embankment on the north bank of the Thames. The embankment and gardens were named after Queen Victoria. On the opposite bank of the river is the Albert Embankment, which was named after Victoria's husband.

Victoria Tower Gardens

Millbank, London, SW1P 3JA The small park, next to the Victoria Tower end of The Houses of Parliament, offers a peaceful change from the bustling crowds outside Parliament, and even noisier rabble within.
