If dancing and partying in noisy clubs is not your
scene, you might want to consider exploring the different gorgeous parks and
greeneries scattered around London. Park strolls give a certain calmness and
tranquility – a perfect escape to get some peace and quiet.
London offers a number of parks, gardens, and green
spaces for tourists and locals to visit. The historic Holland Park is one of London’s finest parks and not too far from
the hotels near Covent
Garden London. In spite of its smaller area, Holland Park is charming
in its own ways.
It houses a uniquely designed Japanese-style garden:
the Kyoto Garden. The garden was
opened to public in 1991 during the Japan Festival. It was Kyoto’s gift to the
city of London as a symbol of the long-standing friendship of the two nations.
The Kyoto Garden gives a glimpse of Japanese culture in an English setting.
Each detail and element of the garden resembles authentic Japanese gardens. Stone
lanterns, koi cars swimming around clear water of the pond, bridge near the
waterfall, and the tiered waterfalls will transport you to Japan without having
to leave London. It was designed specifically to bring Japan right in the
middle of London. It is the perfect landscape for you to lighten your mood,
relax, reflect, and keep your worries away.
Kyoto Garden is great for solo reflective strolls. It
is also family and kid-friendly. The large playing field located next to the
garden will keep the kids occupied while you meditate or read your favorite
book in peace. It is also perfect for playing sports, exercising, and spending
the day under the sun. Beautiful wildflowers and various Japanese monuments
adorn the garden.
You can book your stay at any of the Oxford
Street hotels, which is a 15-minute drive going to the
Kyoto Garden at Holland Park, and be mesmerized by the garden’s beauty.
