What visitors say
This park is beautiful with Lady Diana’s special playground made with children with special needs in mind, a beautiful lake with swans, geese and ducks, Kensington Palace and a lovely little cafe. Great for an afternoon stroll.

Everything was perfect apart from the Italian Garden side, looked ignored by government officials/departments. The conditions there are worse. A public place in heart of London, means astonishingly good but it wasn’t the case. I loved the place for tracks, nature and the statues

Always beautiful. Worth checking out price discount options too. I have a CSSC card, which was very useful. It was a blisteringly hot day, but there were water refills stations in the cafés too. Lovely GF sandwich at the Orangery. Great to see the Henry Moore exhibits dotted around

Beautiful tucked away nice little piece of heaven right in the middle of the city. It is absolutely gorgeous on a sunny day. Walking path and bench area is very friendly and relaxing space. Next time you are around Central London give this a go and you will love it.
