Top Ten Tour of Kensington Gardens

Welcome to the Kensington Gardens Top Ten Tour! Are you ready to discover the highlights of this historic park? From famous memorials and iconic views to literary hotspots and royal connections, you’ll learn something new at every stop. Look for a Royal Parks information board at each of the ten locations to find out more.

You can find the top ten features using the map below, which also shares a suggested route linking them together. You can do this tour in any order, though, and it will make sense whether you visit each stop or just a few.

The suggested route follows the most accessible, paved paths and takes you past the information boards at each stop. You can also see these on the map below if you select the ‘Information board’ filter.

Please note that the information boards are being installed in spring 2026 and won’t all be in place until summer 2026. You will still be able to enjoy the stops on each tour using the map below, which shares key information about each location when you click on the relevant marker. Thank you for bearing with us!

The full route is approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) long and will take around two and a half hours to enjoy at a leisurely  pace with a short stop at each location and time to pause for a drink or a rest. To locate cafes, kiosks and toilets, use the filters ‘Visitor information’ and ‘Food & drink’ on the map below.
