    A lovely spot within Kensington Gardens to just sit and bask in the serenity of the fountains and surrounding gardens. Plenty of bird life (ducks and geese) and the odd squirrel.

    Built in the 1860’s by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria and renovated in 2011. What more could it offer, beautiful laid out water garden and maintained with clean water in the ponds, so clean there are large fish in them. Amazing to think that this whole area was once a private garden for Kensington Palace, and now open to all. There’s a lot of engineering that goes into a feature like this, the water is aerated and temperatures monitored as the water passes into the Long Water, The Serpentine A beautiful water garden to visit.

    We started our day in this beautiful garden with scones and coffee. The gardens and fountains are spectacular. Make sure to take a stroll and see the Peter Pan statue and see Kensington Palace.

    I’m sorry, this place is magic. I did not expect this much beauty and attention to details. The fountain at the centre have a little (a lot little) but of Trevi Fountain, and the sculpture on the left is look like someone bring it from Italy. The “mini-sanctuary” is beautiful also, too loud 😅 Anyway deserves a visit.

    Kensington Gardens is a great day out. I particularly love the Italian Gardens part which has beautiful gardens and fountains. You can grab an ice cream from the Rolls Royce ice cream van. There’s also a reasonably priced cafe there, public toilets which are payable and it’s right next to Lancaster Gate tube station on the central line.

    Nice picturesque area of Hyde Park with 6 fountains. Needs cleaning and signs to stop feeding birds.

    It's quite a lovely walk around the Italian Gardens. It's one of my must-do to come here when i do running in Hyde Park. It's very relaxing the the five fountains working add so much lives to the Gardens. They have plenty of benches around the pools, so you'll be able to rest a bit your legs while enjoying the view.

    A beautiful, scenic garden complete with intricate fountains. There are many seating areas to relax and take in the beauty of the entire park. Additionally, there are a lot of flowers and other foliage. Luckily, it isn’t too crowded either.

    Love a little Italian in a park in the middle of London’s Hyde park. Very romantic and the prep you need: a bottle of bubbly, a portable speaker, a large blanket, two flutes, some nibbles for the belly, and good conversation.
