Kensington Gardens Park

Kensington Gardens Park is located around Kensington Palace, which is the jewel of this palace and park ensemble. The park is considered the largest in London.

The park was established in 1731. In those days, in its place were ancient forests with a large number of wolves and wild boars. The presence of animals in the forest prompted the owners of the castle to enclose it with a fence. Thus, the forest became a hunting royal reserve, which later opened to the general public.

Now Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are separated by a large lake in which tourists can swim and near which you can listen to orchestra performances. In the park there are many outdoor enthusiasts involved in sports (running and cycling). The abundance of flowers of different types makes walking and rest doubly pleasant.

There are many monuments in the park: a triumphal arch built in honor of the Earl of Wellington, a bronze monument to Peter Pan, as well as a living monument in the form of a tree, on the trunk of which a troll is carved.
