Millions of Londoners and tourists visit the eight Royal Parks for free each year. The 5,000 acres of historic parkland provide unparalleled opportunities for enjoyment, exploration and healthy living in the heart of the capital. A simple walk or a picnic in the park, sport, top quality entertainment, community and education projects – all await you.
The parks have hundreds of buildings, statues and memorials that give a fascinating insight into London’s heritage. The Royal Parks manages these spaces and almost everything in them. It also conserves the Parks to ensure future generations can enjoy them too.
ERCG member Kensington Gardens covers 275 acres (111 hectares) and is planted with formal avenues of magnificent trees and ornamental flower beds. It is a perfect setting for Kensington Palace, peaceful Italian gardens, the Albert Memorial, Peter Pan statue and the Serpentine Gallery.
