Hyde Park offers breathtaking sights of the city, with its stunning rose gardens and Serpentine Lake. Spend time enjoying the peaceful environment of Kensington Gardens, home to Kensington Palace, the former home of Princess Diana.
Sir John Soane's Museum is a hidden gem in the heart of London. An eye-opening experience awaits inside this magnificent house, where you can discover a vast array of art, sculptures and antiquities. With a very relaxing atmosphere and free entry, it’s definitely worth adding to your itinerary.
Leighton House Museum is an exclusive experience. The renowned painter Lord Frederic Leighton spent 30 years creating this glamorous palace, with stunning elements of eastern art and culture. This impressive museum offers a tranquil retreat for art and antique lovers, offering a glance into the life of the eccentric artist.
Revisit the past by exploring St Dunstan in the East Church Garden; the fascinating ruins of this 12th-century church have transformed into an urban sanctuary. Greenery has enveloped the church, merging historical ruins with nature. Despite being in the heart of the city, this garden provides the perfect opportunity for a calm and relaxing ambience.
Lastly, discover how Life was in the past at Geffrey Museum. The museum showcases 400 years of English interior design through the display of rooms, furniture and art. It is an interesting and peaceful experience; the garden behind the museum provides a serene halt from the usual hustle-bustle of the city.
If you have more time, we highly recommend visiting some more of London's hidden gems: Kyoto Garden, located within Holland Park, and Sky Garden, offering panoramic views of London. On the other hand, if you have less time, St Dunstan in the East Church Garden can be excluded. Remember that some museums require advance booking. Lastly, to avoid London’s rush hour, it's better to plan for early morning trips so that you can enjoy the peaceful environment of the city’s finest cultural sites.
