London has the most beautiful parks - I have written about park life and it's people in West London. Holland Park, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are featured.
"Nadine Who?... and a dog called Shoe" - a little life in London has just been published.
Richmond Park is amazing if you are only going to see one. Hyde Park is the famous one and is central - it's also the same park as Kensington Gardens, just a different entrance, so you can do both of those in one.
Same with St James (my favourite for the central ones) and Green park - they are right next to each other so you can just walk through both. If you are visiting Buckingham Palace, you are already there.
please consider to have very short time to spend so help me and suggest me which is the best park to see..... make a sort of ranking.... your suggestion would be appreciated...
If you're thinking about visiting any of London's fantastic parks between 25 July and 2 August make sure you have a look at www.loveparksweek.org.uk - there are hundreds of free events taking place in parks throughout the country.
