London's secret gardens
Although the capital is justly famous for its parks and public gardens, its hidden green spaces can be just as rewarding
Eltham Palace
A well-kept south London secret, this pocket of green space is a leafy paradise. In summer the 19-acre garden springs into life and becomes a riotous confection of colour and scent. The 1936 art deco house has been restored by English Heritage and is a delight in itself, and as a day out it's a worthwhile alternative to the royal parks of central London.
Eltham Palace, Court Yard, SE9 (8294 2548/www.elthampalace.org.uk)
