Kensington Gardens

17Jun
by Cherryl

With just a few steps from Hyde Park, you’ll find yourself roaming around London’s Kensington Gardens, which used to be a deer park; yet even more sprawling masses of green space to soak up.

Have a wander around Megan and Harry’s back yard, amongst the swans and tree lined pathways or sit amidst the squirrels (that will jump onto your bench, sit beside you, nearly knock over your bottle of water and stare you out – waiting for you to give them food. True story).

London may have a lot to answer for when it comes to traffic, pollution, crowds, hustle and bustle – but it certainly compensates for some of that with parks like this – it’s absolutely massive, overwhelmingly green and a welcome resting place from the busy city streets.

You can walk under the bridge or cross over the road to step from Hyde Park into Kensington Gardens…and vice versa

This chap was dedicated to feeding the pigeons – he had them flocking around and landing on him to eat out of his hand…

More fabulous trees…

The squirrels are surprisingly bold, not scared of people and very conformable getting close to you!

It’s really interesting to get a glimpse of the wide range of birds and wildlife thriving in this garden…

  48. singellis – Just trying to get through life with few regrets. I find the older I get the more I love the complex simplicity of what mother nature has to offer. I love challenges and pushing myself to the limit, although I do think I'm a little easy on myself. So welcome to my electronic living room, you'll find a lot of photography because it makes me feel at peace and close to nature. If you feel the desire, feel free to browse, relax, and leave a comment if you like. Thanks for stopping by.
