London garden: article summary

London garden: the Sky Garden

There's nothing more spectacular than the Sky GardenLondon's highest roof garden.

It's the perfect place to relax on a day out in London. From here, you can even see the London skyline from the huge bay window.

Afterwards, enjoy a glass of prosecco at the bar and spend an exceptional evening on site.

Kew Gardens

There's no two ways about it: Kew Gardens is the most famous field of flowers in England, and probably in the world.

In fact, to call it a field of flowers is an understatement. Spread over more than 120 hectares, it is home to over 30,000 species of plant, this London botanical garden is really something not to be missed.

If you want to visit London's most famous garden, this is probably your best choice. Even more so if you want to enjoy this exceptional place during your vacation.

London garden : Kyoto garden

I love the traffic and bustle of downtown London, but it's not exactly a zen place to think.

Fortunately, London's Kyoto Garden certainly is. Donated by the city of Kyoto in the 1990s, it's an oasis of peace and tranquillity. inspired by traditional Japanese gardens and one of the city's most romantic spots.

Even if it's not a very big place, there's a lot to see on site and it's best to explore it slowly. I therefore recommend that you set aside an afternoon to take in every detail.

The Chelsea Physic Garden

The Chelsea Physic Garden was created by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673.

Today, it remains popular and is one of the most unique gardens to visit in London. The emphasis is on the scientific aspect of plants, including their medicinal uses.

It's the perfect place for budding botanists to learn more about plants from all over the world.

London garden: Queen Mary's Garden

If it's a rose garden in London you're looking for, then let me introduce you to Queen Mary's Garden in Regent's Park.

Apparently, Queen Mary, wife of King George V, really loved roses. That's why, on site, you can find over 12,000 species of rose. It really is a magnificent place.

In fact, there are over 85 different types of roses in the garden. You're sure to leave with more knowledge about roses than you ever thought possible.

The Barbican Conservatory

Even many Londoners are surprised to learn that the Barbican Conservatory is the city's largest conservatory after Kew Gardens.

That said, the fact that it only opens on certain Sundays means that London's tropical garden is a little less frequented than others.

London garden: Streatham Rookery

This pretty little London garden is one of my favorite places to escape the city crowds. It looks as if it's going to get more beautiful with time.

The Streatham Rookery has been perfectly landscaped, with impressive hedges and a magnificent pond on the edge of Streatham Common.

Very few people know about this secret spot, perfect for enjoying a little peace and quiet.

Postman's Park

A picturesque garden north of St. Paul's Cathedral, Postman's Park is much more than just a pretty spot.

My favorite part of this space is the moving memorial in the middle of it. A series of plaques showing the names of the various Londoners who sacrificed themselves to save others.

You can see this memorial in the film Closer, starring Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen.

London garden: Brockwell Park

If you've ever seen the film The Secret Garden and dreamed of finding your own secluded spot, I've got the perfect place for you.

Nestled in Brockwell Park, you'll find a magnificent old English walled garden in this south London park.

How this jewel remained hidden is a real mystery. However, I recommend that you before the secret is out!

The garden was once the kitchen garden of the manor house on the site. Today, roses and other plants abound.

Queen Elizabeth Hall roof garden

A free rooftop garden is what you get at Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden, in the center of Southbank.

It's a lovely place to have a drink, admire the flowers and take in the view over London.

What's more, the garden is maintained by a group of volunteers. What's more talk to real enthusiasts while you're there.

London garden: the Phoenix Garden

It's not the largest of London's gardens, but it's certainly one of the most popular.

Phoenix Garden proves that everyone loves a community garden.

This modestly sized garden lies between Soho and Covent Garden. This gives the area a dose of green space and a much-needed community spirit.

This is a non-profit organization that relies on donations, so if you have a few pounds to spare, remember to give them away to keep the garden thriving.

During your visit to London, you can take advantage of the various gardens on offer. They're the perfect place to relax surrounded by thousands of flowers.
