Festival Gardens
Located near St Paul’s Cathedral, Festival Gardens offers stunning views of the landmark. Featuring a wall fountain, sunken lawn, paved terrace, and seasonal planting, the gardens were designed by Sir Albert Richardson in 1951 for the Festival of Britain.
Guildhall Yard
Guildhall Yard is an outdoor space used for public and private events throughout the year.
It is where the Guildhall Great Hall and Guildhall Art Gallery are located. Guildhall Yard is a public space and is open to the public Monday to Sunday, although it might close for specific events.
Canbury Gardens
Covering 14.5 acres in Kingston Upon Thames (KT2 5AW), Canbury Gardens has a rich history. Once used for grazing and turf cutting, it later became a gravel extraction site. By 1887, the area was considered an eyesore, prompting plans for a park to enhance the riverside view.
Bushy Park
Bushy Park is a haven for wildlife – from historic herds of resident deer and scores of protected anthills to ancient woodlands and winding waterways where skylarks nest, ducks dive and beetles scurry.
Richmond Park
Richmond Park, London’s largest Royal Park, spans 2,500 acres and is a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Established by King Charles I in 1637 as a deer hunting park, it was enclosed by high walls, much of which still remain today. A legal case in 1758 secured public access for pedestrians.
