Princess Diana Water park As you walk – look up! The plane trees of Kensington Gardens form a lofty, cathedral-like ‘roof’ above the formal avenues. London’s plane trees improve the air quality in the city, and the deeply grooved bark of some older trees creates perfect micro-habitats for roosting bats, fungi and many species of beetle. In total there are over 3,000 trees in the park, including 200-year-old sweet chestnuts, classic English hornbeams, oaks and rowans. Wildlife at the waterside woodland In 1861 Queen Victoria suffered the great tragedy of her life - the premature death of her beloved husband, Prince Albert. To honour his memory, she later commissioned a magnificent tribute. This was the towering Albert Memorial, a grand, gothic extravaganza designed by architect George Gilbert Scott.

Be prepared for a long stay. No one is leaving here any time soon if the kids have their way! History of the Kensington Gardens PlaygroundKeep in mind that only adults supervising children up to 12 will be admitted, and children are not allowed to enter or leave the playground without an adult carer. On busy days when the playground reaches full capacity (maximum 150 visitors at a time), queue management will be in place following COVID regulations. On warm, sunny days, the queue can start as early as 10:30 am and last until the last admission time. The busiest times tend to be between 10am – 3pm, particularly at weekends, and waiting times can range between 15 minutes up to one hour.

This method looks at combining and coordinating language with physical movements. This includes giving commands or instructions in the target language, with students responding with the desired action. It’s a way of teaching comprehension of language rather than outright teaching the target vocabulary for speech. Students aren’t required to speak the target language immediately. That will come later as a subconscious aspect of learning the words audibly and physically. The curved side rails were also cut from a 2x12. The basic shapes require quite a bit of finesse but here how we managed it...

At the centre of Kensington Gardens is the Round Pond, with a ‘goose foot’ of avenues spreading out from it, bisected by other avenues of trees. The areas between are filled with meadow, scrub and informal open woodland, providing a wide range of habitats for wildlife.

Over the next two years the illustrator, Ivor Innes, carved the figures of the “Little People” into it. The tree was moved to Kensington Gardens in 1928 as part of George Lansbury’s scheme of public improvements in London. The memorial shows Prince Albert holding the catalogue of the 1851 Great Exhibition, which he had helped to organise – one of his greatest personal achievements.
