Kensington Gardens can be found in the western part of Hyde Park in central London.
This huge 260 acre area consists of formal avenues, the Peter Pan statue, Serpentine Gallery, the Italian Gardens and the Albert Memorial. Of course, the most visited part in Kensington Palace, the last home of Lady Diana.
Little known but worth a visit is the Elfin Tree. Located close to the childrens playground and park cafe, this tree has some amazing carvings of fairies and elfs.
The southern part of Kensington Gardens is bounded by Kensington Gore, a continuation of the High Street. The northern part around the stunning Italian Gardens and fountains is bounded by Bayswater Road.
Immediately to the west of the park is Kensington Palace Gardens. Arguably the most elite residential street in Britain. No change out of £40m here for a house.
Hotels near Kensington Gardens tend to be expensive. In the southern part is the 5 star Royal Garden Hotel which actually overlooks Kensington Palace. Also in the same area and very close to the Royal Albert Hall is the very special Milestone Hotel. This 5 star luxury hotel puts the emphasis on quality not quantity, whilst it only has around 45 guest rooms and a dozen luxury suites, they are all designed for exceptional comfort, elegance and convenience. This hotel is ideal for both business and leisure, with the top hi-tech in-room amenities to suite either type of guest's needs.
Also close to Kensington Gardens is the Kensington Close Hotel. Situated in a quiet location, this 3+ Star central London hotel is in the heart of Kensington, convenient to the prestigious shops of High Street Kensington, and only a two-minute walk to the tube.
