About the gardens

Aga Khan Centre (AKC) in King's Cross comprises Islamic Gardens showcasing the diversity of Muslim cultures while celebrating classic Islamic garden design. 

The AKC gardens range from contemplative courtyards inspired by Andalusia and loggias inspired by the Middle East, to rooftop spaces inspired by South and Central Asia. The centre is home to the Aga Khan Foundation UK, Aga Khan University - Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations, and The Institute of Ismaili Studies. All are founded by His Late Highness Aga Khan IV. The building also features an Art Gallery with a changing exhibition programme.
