Covering 111 hectares and originally part of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, with its magnificent trees, is a perfect setting for Kensington Palace.

William III bought what was originally part of Hyde Park in 1689 - as an asthma sufferer he found the air good and so commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to design Kensington Palace. Queen Anne then extended the gardens further in 1704 with the addition of The Orangery.

Kensington Gardens is home to two children's playgrounds, disabled toilets and deckchairs. There's also the Diana Playground Café and refreshment points can be found at the Italian Gardens and the Albert Memorial.
