This is a hidden gem of London, especially if you are traveling with kids.

Just behind Kensington Palace which is on the map of most tourists, is this little park which kids and adults will enjoy.



The park has a big ship made of wood that kids can spend fun time with.


It is surrounded by small little gems of activities which will keep everyone entertained.



A little further from this garden are the round pond, kensington gardens and the Princess Diana memorial fountain.

In all, you can easily spend 1 hour in the garden itself and more than 3 hours in the entire area.
