Kensington Gardens

Kensington Gardens were originally the private gardens of Kensington Palace, opened to the public in the early eighteenth century. Covering 265 acres, they form part of the great chain of royal parks running through central London. Key attractions include the Albert Memorial, the Peter Pan statue (1912), and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. The Serpentine sits on the boundary with Hyde Park. Through winter 2026–27 the Serpentine Galleries show Justin Caguiat at Serpentine South (until 10 January 2027) and Amar Kanwar at Serpentine North (until 31 January 2027).
