Kensington Gardens

Kensington Gardens is one of the nicest parks I’ve been to in London. It’s big, peaceful, and really well looked after. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a calm escape from the busy streets. There’s a lot of open space, so it never feels too crowded, even on weekends. I went for a walk and ended up spending more time than I expected just wandering around. There are wide paths, big trees, and lovely green lawns where you can sit and relax. It’s perfect if you want some fresh air, a slow stroll, or even a quiet spot to read a book or have a snack. There are also some cool things to see while you walk like the Peter Pan statue, the Albert Memorial, and Kensington Palace. I didn’t plan anything in advance, but just came across them as I explored, which was a nice surprise. There’s also a little pond with birds and ducks that adds to the peaceful vibe. The park is clean, feels safe, and has plenty of benches and open spots to stop and enjoy the view. You’ll see locals walking their dogs, families with kids, and people jogging or biking, but it still feels quiet and relaxing.

We visited Kensington Gardens two weeks ago during our short trip to London. Nestled beside Hyde Park, this expansive royal park offered a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle, even if our visit was brief. The garden’s wide paths and large open spaces made it ideal for a relaxing walk. It’s very family-friendly — a perfect spot to bring kids for some outdoor time. Although it was warmer than expected during our visit, we found shaded areas to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Washrooms were available, which was convenient, and there’s a nice café where you can sit down for refreshments. We especially enjoyed watching the fountains and the coots gliding gracefully across the water. It added a lively charm to the otherwise calm landscape. One small disappointment was the lack of floral displays — we were hoping for more vibrant blooms, but the heat may have impacted the seasonal flowers. As we were pressed for time with only a few days in London, we had to rush through and couldn’t explore every corner. Despite that, the garden left a pleasant impression, and we’d definitely return for a longer, slower visit next time.

Big park with a beautiful lake. Quiet and peaceful. But I saw people walking their dogs without picking up the 💩.

In the heart of London, a park – the perfection of nature and beauty. A lovely walk along the Serpentine Lake to Kensington Palace, the Queen Victoria Memorial, and the bridge that leads into Hyde Park. A wonderful place for a moment of peace and quiet. Highly recommended, whatever you’re looking for. Some places don’t need to be searched for – they’re simply there.

A fantastic Park with Tree lines avenues and plenty of benches for taking a rest. There Park is lovingly kept and although it is relatively busy it still feels a calm and restful place. The Albert Memorial, Italian Sunken Garden, and Diana Memorial Fountain are all in the area and worth a visit.

​Kensington Gardens is a truly beautiful and peaceful oasis in London. While exploring its lovely pathways and serene landscapes, you'll also find the poignant Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain and the delightful Diana Memorial Playground, both dedicated to the late Princess Diana. Adding to the convenience, there are two nearby restaurants perfect for an afternoon tea, a coffee break, or a leisurely lunch.

Gorgeous garden, interesting locals of the human kind as well as the animal kind. Wild parakeets and murder pigeons. I don't think they're murdering anything but the mulberries off the trees but with the red mulberry juice and the cockney gait and side eye, it's easy to be mistaken.

So many visits to London and yet I don't recall strolling past specifically the pond with all the swans and ducks. Did a loop starting from the Italian Garden switching into Kensington and back to Lancaster via the black gates. Lovely walk. Beautiful well maintained parks/grounds.

Step inside the gates and away from the noise in Kensington. With plenty of trails by foot or wheel, you could spend hours here. And you will when the tranquility draws you in. Enjoy the swans on the pond, especially at sunrise if you can drag yourself out of bed. What am I saying, sunrise is extremely late half the year. So get over here! You can picnic or visit the food shops for a quick bite, and then keep walking east because the parks lead to more parks, different parks, then castles, then monuments, then a big clock. Before long it's sunset again, but get a good night's sleep because those swans need to eat again at dawn.

Do Wills and Kate really live over there? Kensington Palace is the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, so I believe the answer is yes. My invitation to afternoon tea must've been lost in the mail. Maybe I could've pretended to be an Amazon delivery guy. Jamie W and I only got as close as the Queen Victoria statue in our afternoon constitution among the mancicured lawns (photo: https://yelp.to/ANUDrw6jR_). I appreciate how the white swans moved in perfect coordination in the Round Pond (photo: https://yelp.to/_JVoXGgG21). It was like being in a Merchant Ivory period film on our way to Hyde Park.

What's not to love? Gorgeous walk through/around the gardens/park/pond. London feels much safer than large metropolitan areas of the US.

A really nice area with a lot of walking trails and a beautiful pond with lots of birds!

This relaxing city park is filled with oak trees, meadows, paths, and dogs. In the fall or summer, it's ideal for an evening stroll or early morning jog. You will see lots of families here. The park is located to the west of Hyde Park and includes Kensington Palace as well as the Round Pond. You can find maps around the perimeter of the park, which is about a 15 minute walk north from the Gloucester Road tube stop. If you need a break from the urban bustle of central London, be sure to come here for a stroll, walk or jog!

Good but not great. There's far too many empty stretches where the park goes on for miles. And no tree cover. That's a bit problematic. Other than that, it is a beautiful park - I especially like the cafes outside.

This is a fantastic park that allows dogs off leash. Pathways, lake, green spaces galore. Benches and bike paths. Dedicated running paths. An oasis in the city. So much to see and enjoy. Great place to have a morning coffee. Nestled inside is the Princess Diana Children's playground. What a great place to visit over and over.

Gorgeous park in the heart of London, the grounds are like a peaceful sanctuary in the middle of the metropolis. We strolled here from Paddington Station on our way to see Kensington Palace. The park is very clean and there are helpful maps and signs all around so you will be able to find your way. There are so many water birds in the round pond in front of the palace! I also saw a lot of people with their dogs and there were specific doggie bag garbage cans. I'll note that it seemed people did clean up after their dogs. I know I missed some of the highlights so that will just give me a reason to come back.

Right next to Kensington Palace, our family enjoyed an evening stroll through the gardens in July. It was bustling with families, couples, and friends picnicking, playing, and enjoying the evening.

These are beautiful gardens located at Kensington Palace. We essentially came as we wanted to visit and see the Diana tribute monument. Whilst there the Diana monument was getting a polish! A really nice spot, and worthy of a visit.

This was such a nice park to come explore while in London. There is plenty of green everywhere, and I didn't really see any trash around. This is a huge park you can explore explore. I liked the water I found there with different birds people were feeding and taking pictures of. You can come here with your dogs if you like and can even rent out bikes to ride around. Everyone was really nice that I met here. Many were enjoying a picnic or just relaxing under trees. Some were even sleeping in the park without a care in the world. I would recommend exploring the area if you are looking to do something relaxing or just even walking around.

Kensington Gardens is one of London's Royal Parks and covers an area of 265 acres. We took a stroll through the South Flower Walk, and it was beautiful. All of the grounds were immaculately maintained. There was a lot more to see than we had a chance to explore. We may go back a 2nd time

I was only here briefly when I was in town to run the London Marathon. I only walked through the eastern end of the garden where I came across the Peter Pan statue. From the little that I saw, this place was beautiful and well maintained. I will definitely have to explore the rest of the garden on a future visit!

You can experience breathtaking sights every step you take. The gardens are beautifully maintained and it's close to the Buckingham Palace and the Queen Victoria Memorial. Such a pleasant walking experience and a breath of fresh air!!! :-)

How beautiful can these gardens be? It's just greenery after greenery and flowers after flowers. People complain about that rain and the weather here, but it's the perfect climate for these immaculate gardens. The Kensington Gardens can be sprawled throughout Hyde Park and just outside of the lovely Kensington Palace. The lushness of the gardens will surround you at practically every turn within Hyde Park. After visiting the Kensington Palace, I decided to delve deeper into Hyde Park and explore the gardens. These gardens are massive! There are so many pathways that will connect you to different parts of the gardens. You'll see tall trees, manicured shrubbery, and vibrant flowers and roses all throughout. It's so unbelievably green here. It's kind of scary but in a good way I guess. It almost made me sad to think that the gardens at home don't look anything like this, especially in the summertime. But, this is what makes the Kensington Gardens so special. There's also a ton of wildlife in view. I saw so many birds and squirrels roaming around in their territory. The flower walk was so endearing. It's a short walk through a mystical pathway that's lined with the most beautiful flowers. It kind of makes you feel like you're in a movie or something. It was so relaxing and therapeutic. If I was a local, I'd come here to decompress and take walks. What's also fun is that in the summertime, it stays dark until 10:00ish and sometimes even 11:00 o'clock. You can walk through these gardens in the "night" but it'll still feel like daytime. What I would give to have something like that at home. On the contrary, there wasn't too much sunshine when I was there. I can only imagine how stunning a sunset would be here. The Serpentine River also crosses through these gardens. It's the perfect spot to take a break and relax as you breathe in the fresh air from the gardens. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, I would highly recommend a visit to these gardens.

I would highly suggest finding a bike tour that takes you to all the main spots. It's a great way to see the sights, get a workout in and do it with a local that knows the details! On my bike tour, we saw: Princess Diana's Memorial Albert Memorial Green Park Hyde Park Wellington Arch Kensington Palace Buckingham Palace Trafalgar Square The National Gallery Westminster Abby

Didn't make it into the palace but the gardens were so wonderful that it didn't end up mattering! There is so much peace and symmetry throughout this area. With manicured lawns everywhere, you could wander or picnic here for hours! It's free to enter and feels somewhat like you've entered a space similar to that of a botanical garden. I would definitely recommend coming here just to relax and recharge after walking around exploring the city center.

A TON of pathways to take leading up to this palace! Don't be shy, meander about. There are black signs every so often that point you in the direction of somewhere you'd like to go(Princess Diana fountain or Prince Albert statue, for example). There are ALSO permanent Kensington Palace Garden maps scattered about the grounds. I recommend going to the palace and checking out the flower garden that's free to view! #smellslovely and is beautiful! There are trash bins, plenty of benches and open space, more birds than you could possibly count, which means you can't avoid stepping on bird poo, and there are toilets as well throughout the grounds and park area.

It's a pretty sizable park in the middle of the Kensington area. Guess what else you'll find here... The Kensington Castle. Which is pretty cool to see. It's like the size of Jay-Z's house in New Jersey but older and has a lot more history. Anyways,,, it's a pretty big park,,, I came about it when I was shopping on high street. I got probably 1/4 of the park and there was still quite a bit of park left to explore. There are bathrooms, but I feel that if you're in the middle of the park or the ends of the parks it's quite a long walk to it. But no matter,, it's still a nice place to go for a leisurely walk about. That and some pokemon hunting. Thank you very much Kensington Gardens. I'll see you again next time I'm back in town. CHEERS!

Ab fab! One of my favorite parks and not only because I haunted this place when I lived in Bayswater for a year as a child, but also because its plantings, gardens, and paths are simply a delight to stroll, wander, and admire. So nice to see the Round Pond (still replete with ducks, swans, and geese looking for the daily bread), the gorgeous and charming Sunken Garden, the Albert Memorial, Kensington Palace, Orangery, the Elfin Oak (though sadly the fairies are all sequestered behind iron bars these days). Extremely walkable and easy access to and from the city proper through various gates.

BEAUTIFUL! We visited Kensington Gardens just after arriving on a long flight from America in 2018. It was a wonderful and peaceful beginning to our trip.

Massive green space with many unbroken sight lines where you can lose yourself in the greenery and completely forget that you are deep in the heart of a major city. Lots of walking space, on the roads or on the grass. It's an absolutely lovely park and a great place to go if you find yourself needing to disconnect from the modern world for a bit. Benches a-plenty for the sitting times. Do keep an eye out for the bike riders who always seem to think the road belongs solely to themselves. There are a number of Boris bike stations at the main gates to the park.

Beautiful. Definitely worth the visit and inside the palace is the is home to the magnificent late Diana's wedding dress. So breathtaking. Definitely worth the visit if in the area

Kensington Gardens is one of my favourite spots in West London. It's more intimate than Hyde Park, with more planting and trees, and it includes the complex of Kensington Palace. Kensington Gardens is the more developed bit of the gardens to the west of the road (West Carriage Drive) that runs north-south through the park and across the Serpentine: that means that it includes Kensington Palace, the Albert Memorial, the Round Pond and Serpentine gallery, but not the Diana Memorial Fountain. The wooded area is more thickly planted with trees than Hyde Park, but it also has lovely areas of lawn, particularly around the 'Round Pond' (which is actually more oval). The pond is a great place to feed the ducks, and safe as the water on the edges is fairly shallow. The area around is popular for sunbathing, picnics and kite flying. Like Fuzzworks, the bit I like the most is the Sunken Garden, which is technically part of Kensington Palace but is free for the public to look at. The Sunken Garden was created in 1909 and modelled on the Tudor Garden in Hampton Court. It is beautifully maintained, with ponds and exquisite borders. It's also a little haven for wildlife. Because the tourists feed them, the birds and squirrels have become phenomenally tame, so it's a great place to get a photo of your kids feeding squirrels (mind - they do occasionally bite, so it's not actually that good an idea for little kids). The main paths are now quite busy highways for cyclists, but there are paths also reserved for pedestrians only. There are toilets at both Black Lion Gate (near Queensway), Palace Gate (on Kensington Road) and Mount Gate on West Carriage Drive. At the north end is the Diana, princess of Wales Memorial Playground, a lovely small park with all sorts of things to let children's imagination run riot, like sculptures, teepees, a sensory garden, and the centrepiece - a large pirate ship set in a sea of sand. It has more restricted hours than the rest of the gardens. For adults, there's always the Serpentine Gallery, which runs regular exhibitions of art and sculpture, and occasionally concerts, and is small enough to pop in as you are walking past. The park has several cafes, which are nice enough, but a bit pricey. The Orangery is very classy, as well as historic: it was added by Queen Anne at the beginning of the 18th century. Strongly recommended on a hot, sunny day.

This place is a total treat!! While you walk through Hyde Park, you'll walk into Kensington Gardens, which is right next door! Lots of beautiful statues around the park! My fav was Peter Pan. My friend and I brought our lunches and sat by the statue and had lunch with Peter Pan. haha. The Princess Diana Memorial Fountain is definitely worth seeing. I just cannot believe people put their feet in something that is suppose to signify an important person! I was a bit shocked when I saw people doing that. I love walking around and watching people paddling by in the water!

Kensington Gardens is an 'offshoot' of Hyde Park. It starts across the Serpentine and passes the Round Pond. A visit to the Peter Pan statue was necessary as that shouldn't be missed and, if you have children, the Princess Diana Memorial playground is a must. We have 'offloaded' our children many yonks ago (the use of yonks shows my age) but the sounds of enjoyment emanating from the fenced off area said it all. We could just see the galleon and tee pees. And, off course, the tired children leaving after a few hours. Actually, the parents looked finished too. Lovely part of the park and a nice couple of hours wandering.

Lovely park with a large fountain area and lots of grass patches to roll out a picnic blanket. Bit less crowded than Hyde Park and less touristy (both good things) meaning everything just feels a lot more relaxing. It's easy to walk over from Hyde within 30 minutes by just following the river which takes you through winding paths littered with art installations and pretty views. No cycling allowed in most parts of it however!

The grounds here are humongous. All of it is very well maintained, as one would expect. It's a wonderful stroll. It's very nice back by the orangery as well. If you come out the main entrance to Kensington Palace, it leads to the Round Pond. The pond sounds calming already, right? Well think again! The pond was surrounded by birds! Birds of all kinds. One minute you're watching the swans and ducks floating around the pond like bulbous balloons covered in feathers. Next thing you know someone is throwing bread at the other birds walking the ground and you begin to back away slowly...then... they attack! Squawking and feathers fluttering and poo flinging as they stampede to get the meager crumbs or seeds that the onlookers toss. Children's laughter turns to screams and cries for "Mum" as they quickly are enveloped in the cluster and Armageddon of beaks and wings. NO HOLDS BARRED! So watch your kids. It reminds me of the Hitchcock movie "The Birds". Aside from that.....it's a great place to ride a bike, rollerblade, or dare I say ....picnic. Viewer discretion is advised.

The park is absolutely giant. I cannot express how huge this place is. You could spend a week walking around and still find something new. I loved all of the statues, monuments, and works of art. There are food booths by the toilets which was nice as well. Speaking of toilets, I enjoy that the public ones cost as it keeps them well maintained! Oh yes! My favorite part of the park was the round pond. There were so many birds to watch and feed!! The park wasn't that impressive in flowers or plants. It was pretty average. It did however have a lot of other things to offer and was overall an enjoyable experience.

Not my favourite of royal parks but defiantly up there in central London. I remember coming here back in 1997 when Diana passed away and every time I come back I remember the unbelievable amount of flowers people had placed. Lovely quintessentially English park with a royal palace in it, what more could you ask for in a park. Defiantly worth going to Kensington palace if your in the park for a stroll. If your into your history not only is it where Diana lived it's also where queen Victoria lived as a child and I think George the 3rd but you can confirm that hopefully when you go yourselves :)

I stayed within two blocks of Kensington Gardens on my recent visit to London. I didn't plan this but clearly destiny wanted me to nearby. I love parks and outdoors things but not in a hardcore way. I just enjoy a nice walk and these gardens were made for stompin'! End to end this baby is about 2miles and runs right into hyde park and Buckingham Palace. You can hit up Kensington Palace, Prince Alberts creepy shrine and stroll through the rose gardens all in one walk. Pretty great if you ask me. I highly recommend stopping by one of the kiosks for tea and a sandwich while you enjoy how neat nature is. Just watch out for the swarming birds and hungry squirrels. Clearly everything here has been fed a little too much by visitors. Regardless of all the famous junk, it's just beautiful. Straight up magnificent. Nature at it's finest 5/5.

Living in the area, Kensington Gardens is one of my favorite places to stroll and get "lost." Each season brings something new to the gardens, and literally makes it enchanted. Make sure you visit the Peter Pan Statue! In the one corner are the Italian Gardens which are just a beauty. Grab a book and take a seat in those gardens! The Diana memorial fountain is sort of near where Kensington Gardens merge with Hyde Park. If it's summer, grab a vanilla ice cream cone with a cadbury flake!

A beautiful and very large park!! Within the park, there is a children's playground, a maze, Kensington Palace, a sculpture garden, and a lake. It's very large and reminded me of Central Park.

I spent so much time traversing Hyde Park in so many different ways that I didnt even realize that I was in Kensington Gardens at first. Id wished I'd actually gotten the time to see the Palace also but that will be for another time. As mentioned the borders blur together with the park but they do have a lot of additional nice architecture, sculptures and fountains. If you have the time it takes 30 min or so to traverse a diagonal across both on foot.

That park is a quiet island in so crowded, bustling, but so lovely London. Beautiful landscape: green grass with amazing flowers in the summer with birds which you can easily feed + park has special trails for everybody - for pedestrians not to bother bikes and vice versa :) plenty of cafes to rest after a long walk :) Everybody are just smiling, enjoying their lives, kids are running/playing, parents are talking, laughing, just sitting, enjoying the weather and relaxing after stressful week - what can be possibly better? :)

If there is one thing I envy Londoners, it's the easy access to beautiful parks that doesn't always come with living in a big city. I'm from Los Angeles, and would pay a lot of money to have one of these gorgeous, plentiful parks transplanted into my neighborhood. Kensington Gardens boasts endless space and gorgeous green, as well as a pond surrounded by water fowl. If I had children, or if I were child-sized, I would adore the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, which has not only a pirate ship but its own Wikipedia page. I also like the 900-year-old Elfin Oak, decorated with tiny gnomes and creatures, and a Wikipedia page as well. I was disheartened that I didn't get to visit the Kensington Palace, but I did stroll the grounds. They had a design element that was rather lovely and in pleasant contrast to the surrounding park, with stone paths, potted plants, and manicured hedges. I'm sure I'll come back to Kensington Gardens, as the Kensington Palace is at the top of my list for any future trip to London. I look forward to my visit very much.

Lovely open, green spaces with benches to sit on and paved walking paths. Look for signs near entrances for information on available facilities & rules. Trees, fountains...nice for families & pet friendly (with guidelines, of course). Near the Serpentine is a Cafe that serves hot & cold drinks, ice-cream, & sandwiches. There's also a cafe attached to Kensington Palace, one of the official residences of the Royal Family in London. I highly recommend a visit here!

I don't think I could truly explore this garden fully. It's quite expansive and house the Kensington Palace which currently houses the Diana: Her fashion story exhibit that I feel you have to know someone to possible acquire a ticket to... seriously , that thing is sold out for ages and people line up at the Palace trying to score some of the only non-reserved tickets... At any rate. What I love about parks in Europe is that the paths are thought out, but there are so many to choose from it's like creating your own little adventure. This park is within walking distance of a couple of underground stations. I like to go there and do some dog watching. Dogs unleashed in parks is not common stateside, but it's more uncommon to see a leashed dog in Britain's parks. My dog will have to undergo some extensive training before we decide to live on the other side of the pond. Beyond the palace there is the Diana Memorial Playground for children. Several playgrounds actually. Ponds. And many other wonderful things. As I said, I could go there an hour a day for a month and likely not see every little thing.

I love parks with history, ponds filled with cute birds, and a palace to boot. I felt this was a quieter, calmer park than Hyde. Less traffic and more enjoyment of the nature. Ah. soothes the soul. I met a lovely lady here who feeds the little swanettes every day in the midst of her exercise route. She says she's known these little guys since they were born. If that isn't a warm and fuzzy feeling I don't know what is. If I wasn't a visitor here I'd probably do the exact same thing. By the way Londoners, pigeons are just gross. Please don't feed those things.

Dearest Kensington Gardens, If there was one place in London that I wish we had spent more time it would have been within your walls. Between the lush green fields perfect for picnics and all those leafy trees, I just loved the park. We popped in on our way to Notting Hill and took a few minutes to enjoy the sights around Kensington Palace. The Sunken Garden was especially delightful. Can't wait to plan our next trip and see more of the park... Until we meet again KG, Alyssa

Absolute beautiful park even in March!!! Great park to walk, bike and run in! There are some big sights along the way. It's a great place for all ages and even the fur babies are welcomed!

We came here on the Underground specifically to see the Peter Pan statue. It was delightful. While we wandered and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery we saw the Diana, Princess of Wales fountain / area. Everything was beautiful and the grounds are all very well maintained. A fantastic way to spend a lazy afternoon wandering with someone you love.

Absolutely lovely place to walk through. We went early in the morning, which was the best idea. Really interesting to think about the people who have lived and died, looking at these spaces, walking through them, etc. beautiful.

I just didn't realize it's so huge! Rent a bike. It's really gorgeous and I'm not sure I got to see everything because I walked. Sculptures and greens. Flowers and trees. Ponds. Seems there is something for everyone.

I love this park - a beautiful pond, a lovely view and a pretty area with fountains and flowers. It's got it all! Huge areas for football games, a great short route for a jog pluuuus it makes for a short cut through to South Ken from north of the park (the tube is a nightmare). Be warned the park closes at sunset and they lock every gate.

It's for the birds... I mean that in the best way! From the parakeets, to the herons, to the swans, to the owls (and so many more), this park was an expected treasure for this fledgling birder. Make your way along the Serpentine from from the Italian Gardens past Peter Pan and over to the Princess Diana Fountain (or the other way around) and enjoy the flora and fauna! Be sure to bring a sliced apple. The parakeets will swoop down and eat it directly from your hand. I also particularly enjoyed the Moorhens, which I called disco ducks as they strut along the water in tune to Stayin' Alive. My favorite moment was watching a grey heron stalk and then eat his lunch from about 10 feet away. Just take a moment to be still and look up (or in some cases down). You may just be delighted with what you might see.

My husband and I stumbled upon Kensington Gardens on our way to Lancaster Gate station. I had previously heard about it, but had never had a reason to visit! The entrance by Lancaster Gate is very impressive with perhaps the biggest fountain I've ever seen! Kensington Gardens has an impressive amount of water! We spent a good hour here walking around drinking coffee and chatting! It was the perfect end to our Sunday!

Kensington Gardens truly is one of the most beautiful green spaces in all of London. While it is usually crawling with tourists (understandably.... look at it's location), you can get lost in the amazing flower displays and pathways bordering the pond. I came here for a charity walk yesterday and the weather couldn't have been better. The walk's layout had us weaving in and out of all the trails in the park, and taking us past all of the statues and landmarks. There was Peter Pan, the Round Pond, Kensington Palace, and of course the Princess Di Fountain with swans everywhere. On a nice day, it's a great place to spend a few hours. Just be careful of the 'midgies' (bugs) that find their way into your nose, mouth, and hair. Nature!

Di's old stomping ground, far homelier than Hyde Park but not as rah as St James' and also much smaller than Mr Hyde and St James too. Summer there are like an Abercrombie and Fitch advert: young, tanned, athletic, gorgeous folks tossing a ball or light weight aerodynamic device around. Flicking hair and splashing water. Girls looking sexy with their summer wicker wedges and men sporting pairs of stylish cerise shorts. Bet you feel far sexy, sportier, Sloanier just reading this!
