About

Kensington Gardens sits in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, with Kensington Palace at its centre. Pathways run between areas of open grass, tree lines and formal plantings; the Round Pond near the western edge is a focus for model yachts and duck-feeding. The Italian Gardens line the north bank of the Long Water, featuring classical fountains and sculpted figures commissioned in the 19th century. A bronze statue of Peter Pan by Sir George Frampton stands on a small island and has drawn families since its unveiling in 1912.

The south-east corner of the gardens is marked by the Albert Memorial. Contemporary art appears inside the Serpentine Galleries on the water’s edge, while a play space inspired by the stories of Diana occupies a quieter patch near the palace. Footpaths provide direct access to the surrounding streets and residential squares, and benches and sightlines make it easy to move between formal gardens, exhibition spaces and areas used for informal recreation.
