Frequently, we associate London with the big gardens with its beautiful and neat grass, with its people lying on the grass and eating a sandwich. And in London there are a lot of parks and gardens, and become a funny way to enjoy the nature and to leave behind for some moments the frenetic rythm of the city.

As follows, we show you some of the most interesting gardens of the city, where you'll be able to eat, read or, simply, relax!

Kew Garden (or Royal Botanic Gardens)

One park of London.

In general,  all the parks and gardens of London are very neat. We suggest you that after spending two days in London visiting monuments and museums, take a free day to visit one of these parks mentioned above.

All of them are very well linked with the city centre, with nearby underground stops. Take a rest day, walk, read or rent a boat to "sail" a little. London can also be a quiet place!
