Visiting London and staying at a hotel near Hyde Park London is ideal for you if you are hoping to get away from the typical sights of commuters jammed on the “tube” and people rushing through the Piccadilly Circus. Berjaya Eden Park London Hotel is one such property you can consider staying at.
Once you slip inside the Kensington Gardens premises you will hear the grime and noise of the Kensington High Street magicked away to be replaced by the serene beauty of the gardens. The site features a Peter Pan statue, the Albert Memorial, Diana Memorial Playground, the Italian Gardens, and the Allotment Garden.
The duo of Serpentine Galleries, namely, Serpentine Slacker Gallery and the Serpentine Gallery compliment the unique location of the Kensington Gardens with the expanded programmes of contemporary art and architecture along with the seasonal interests of the year. The exhibitions are timed to be held in autumn, winter, spring and summer.
Between the rustles of the trees can be heard the gentle chatter of the other enthusiasts at the gardens. Take delight in the sights of Italian Garden fountains, the Serpentine Bridge and the Physical Energy sculpture that depicts the cultural heritage of great United Kingdom.
