Escape to Royal Green: A Stroll Through Kensington Gardens

#londontrips

Once the private gardens of Kensington Palace, today this royal green space invites visitors into a peaceful pocket of elegance right in the heart of London.

⸻

🏰 Kensington Palace

Start your walk with a regal touch—peek into the historic residence of royals past and present. The gardens surrounding it are serene and storybook-pretty.

⛲ Italian Gardens

Stroll past these 19th-century ornamental water gardens, with fountains, urns, and lily ponds—perfect for a pause and photo op.

🧚♀️ Peter Pan Statue & Serpentine

Hunt for Peter Pan hidden among the trees, then circle around the Serpentine lake. Watch the swans glide and maybe rent a boat on a warm day.

🎨 Serpentine Galleries

Tucked within the greenery, these two modern art spaces bring edgy and contemporary art to a classic setting—always free to visit.

☕ Queen Anne’s Alcove & Café Time

Relax near this peaceful hideaway, or grab a warm drink from the café by the Round Pond with views of the palace.
