The beautiful Kew Gardens

In the north of the capital, next to Hampstead Heath, there lies a real jewel - Pergola & Hill Garden, a former Lord Leverhulme garden with a large pergola built in the early twentieth century. This place is a real London gem: pergola’s columns entwined with rosehip and grape leaves, light breaking through the foliage, crazy view of the Green Park and quaint benches where you can kiss.

What other interesting things may you find in the park, even if it is in London? Tracks, trees, a beautiful zoo and, of course, dinosaurs - this is all about the Crystal Palace Park. It is home to an extraordinary collection of statues - dinosaurs. It was more than 160 years ago when a sculptor and artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins built life-size models of dinosaurs who once lived on the earth.
