Hello everyone! Another place that I visited with my sister in London back in July/August 2021 was Festival Gardens. Festival Gardens was a…you guessed it…garden but was this a special garden that is worth visiting?

What is Festival Gardens?

Festival Gardens is a garden which is a 2 minute walk from St Paul’s Cathedral. 

What did I like about Festival Gardens?

• The garden was organised into little patches of green grass. It was very beautiful and there were many colourful flowers and plants to look at.
• There were fountains for decoration with the clear blue water coming out.
• There was also many seating areas available.

What didn’t I like about Festival Gardens?

• The garden did not have any activities to do. There were mostly just couples and family there which meant it was quite boring. 
• The garden is a pretty reasonable size, but it is not too big so again, you can’t really play sports.

Would I recommend it?

I think that despite this garden being one of the very many nice gardens and spots that London has to offer, I must say that I don’t think it was one of my top-rate parks or gardens. Therefore, it is not a must-go place.

This was my short review or diary entry about Festival Gardens. These are my opinions about this place. Make sure to check out my other articles. 

Thank you for reading, and have a lovely day!

On Sunday 4th April 2021, my sister and I went to Regent Square Gardens. We sat down on the neches, had a chat, and also had an encounter with a dog. In this article, I will share my review and experience of going to this garden.

 What is Regent Square Gardens?

Regent Square Gardens is a garden in King’s Cross. It is described to be an ‘enclosed garden with benches, planted border, large plane trees and grassed areas. 

What did I like about Regent Square Gardens?

• It fulfilled the purpose of a garden – it had nature.
• There were benches so I and my sister could sit down and relax.
• It was an open space so you can have a picnic, exercise or meditate in this garden.

What didn’t I like about Regent Square Gardens?

• It was a very average garden, and it did not have any activities or playground equipment, nor any colour.
• It was also quite small, so if there were more people, it wouldn’t be very private.
• At one point, there was a dog sniffing everywhere and eventually I and my sister just left (lol!)

Would I recommend it?

No, I wouldn’t really recommend it as it is an average garden that is quite small with little to no equipment. My sister and I did think it would be bigger and have more activities in it. It is good for if you want to just sit down and relax by yourself though (stay safe though).

On Friday 2nd April, my sister and I also went to Victoria Embankment Gardens, which was a colorful garden. As I love spending time in nature and parks in general, I was expecting this place to be really good. However, did it reach my expectations?

What is Victoria Embankment Gardens?

Victoria Embankment Gardens are a series of gardens on the north side of the River Thames between Blackfriars Bridge and Westminster Bridge in London. 

What did I like about Victoria Embankment Gardens?

• This garden was filled with grass and benches.
• There were people having small picnics, as the weather was shining.
• There were small fountains and trees which were beautiful (and some of the fountains had fish in them).
• There was also a playground section.

What didn’t I like about Victoria Embankment Gardens?

• There wasn’t really anything in particular I did not like; it was a bit crowded so if you want it to be empty, come in your own time.

Would I recommend it?

Yes, I would recommend it because it was a nice garden, and I liked the fountains but possibly on sunny days, it may be a bit crowded so keep that in mind.
