Kensington Gardens is at High Street Kensington, a short walk. Right beside it is Hyde Park. The month of September is lovely weather.
Kensington Palace is the first thing you'll see... I haven't gone to the exhibition inside but I've heard it is spectacular. How can it not be spectacular? It's inside a palace.
On a sunny day the light hits everything just right - and I do mean everything. It's all lively and calm and unwaveringly still, illuminated.
The round pond is one of the most amazing places. You must imagine Sigur Ros playing in the background as the birds start flying over the waters, and then you know why we envy birds so much we make planes.
I wonder how many varieties of flowers there are.
The park is huge - don't walk through too fast. At the end it leads you to the Serpentine Gallery, and then you can truly slow down and be enamored by some more art.
Peter Zumthor's pavilion is still there I believe. An indoors garden, a mix of flowers.
The point of any garden these days is to bring a friend and a camera. The grass isn't rough like Singapore, it's soft whispering against the skin.
