Italian Gardens
![]() |
A little piece of Italy in the heart of London. |
With so much to see in Kensington Park, I had to separate the various parts into individual posts.
The Italian Gardens are a wonderfully peaceful place to take a break, considering how close they are to the Bayswater Road. With gently sloping, tree-covered greens, on either side, offering shade, a Pump House with seating and fountains that keep the heat down, you can quite easily forget that you are in the heart of London.
