It's a big hill in a park area facing London downtown giving you a nicish skyline view. My problem…read moreis there are very tall and wide bushy trees blocking the viewpoint. I get the importance of trees and all that flower stuff. But this is supposed to be a viewpoint and there is a limited space between groups of trees where a crowd is peaking through to see the Gherkin and the Shard buildings. Let the trees branch out somewhere else.

There's just something about this park that sticks close to my heart- in a good way. It's super…read morespacious, has plenty to offer, and is quite lovely all throughout the year. No matter which entrance you come through, there will be plenty to see- from gardens to playgrounds, walkways to interesting exercise equipment that doesn't appear to be at first glance, and even a tennis court and BMX cycling course. There are lovely views of the city, plenty of quiet spots with benches overlooking peaceful vistas, and lovely wooded spots where you can spread a blanket and chill under a tree at your leisure. It's also a pet-friendly park, and you'll see plenty of dogs and their owners out for a lovely walk in the park on any given day; just make sure to clean up after them if they drop something on the way... Out of all the parks in London, this is definitely in my Top 5.

The gardens are within walking distance from Trafalgar Square towards the River Thames (via Northumberland Ave) or the Hungerford or Jubilee Bridges that cross the River Thames. It is just one of the gardens that form the Victoria Embankment Gardens, which were created in 1864 following Sir Joseph Bazalgette's embankment of the Thames. The building that faces the garden provides an architectural backdrop that transports you to the French countryside. This Grade-l listed building is reminiscent of a French Chateau Many people promenade alone or in pairs, or jog, or sit and relax. Neighboring the River Thames and Victoria Embankment Gardens, Whitehall Garden is yet another testimony to London's interesting and magnificent culture. It is the ideal place to relax and enjoy both the incredible monuments and the colorful, blooming flowers.

There were some interesting sights to see including a beautiful water display for a Canadian monument thanking them for their contributions to the wars. There were a lot of families and groups hanging out which was nice to see. Also interesting to see was how many couples were here and having a romantic moment. Lot of snogging going to use British parlance. ;-)

Somebody might give it 4 stars because it's too sparsely populated, but there aren't many reasons…read morenot to love one of the crown-jewel London parks. I guess maybe if you don't like little baby deer (how couldn't you?). At 955 hectares, you'll be hard-pressed to make it one side to the other, let alone experience all this natural wonder has to offer (or to know what a hectare is). Even those artificial Pen Ponds seem natural, since they've been here since 1746. Be sure to come in spring to marvel at the azaleas in Isabella Plantation, and bring your bike for the myriad trails winding throughout the property, unless you'd prefer to bring your horse instead (horses love baby deer). Cover those baby deer's ears because we should note there's "culling" in February and November (say it isn't so). It's easy to arrive by train or tube if you're not just riding your bike/horse straight from home. If I lived that close (and had a horse) you know I'd be doing that often. Thanks Charles I for spending all those forced-tax dollars on a place you could put a bunch of deer, all those centuries ago. We'll look forward to another visit soon.

We walked 5 miles easy from the pedestrian entrance in Petersham to the large ponds and back. If you're taking the tube, get off at Richmond station and right outside the station, catch bus 371 to Richmond Hill pass the American University. When you get off, make a left and walk for a few minutes, you'll see the park entrance.

Russell Square Gardens is a 2.5 hectare park with a central plaza and water fountain, and plenty of seating. It's a lovely park to take a stroll, people watch, or sit and read a book. However, I didn't notice any washrooms -- maybe I missed them -- but fortunately the cafe in the park, Caffè Tropea, had a washroom we could use.
