Queen’s Gate Gardens were created in the 1860s when a residential square was built on the site of former market gardens. Today's landscaping largely retains the original Victorian layout, and the old mulberry and catalpa trees are believed to be at least 150 years old. Circles visible in the lawn mark WWII underground bomb shelters. A carpet of bluebells and blossom provide a real 'wow' factor in spring, while the garden brings joy and a sense of community to its members all year round.
Children's adventure play area: four adult swings, climbing frame, two small children's swings, slide, two children's forts with ropewalk, plus a large sandpit.
A garden in three sections, with the tranquil atmosphere of a woodland garden. Magnificent plane trees planted in 1870, now some of the tallest in London.
Multi Award-Winning Community garden in the heart of Kensington. Edible and woodland garden, formerly a neglected patch of earth overrun with weeds and refuse. Plant sale, refreshments, activities for adults and children.
