Explore the royal parks that have become a peaceful haven for Londoners to escape the busy city life. Kensington Palace Gardens is an absolute idyllic getaway from chaos of the city whilst the adjoining Kensington Palace will offer you an enlightening journey of history especially of the Victorian era.
