Kenwood
In the first half of the 18th century the landscape at Kenwood was one of formal gardens. In 1793 it had been remodelled by Humphry Repton, who designed a planned circuit walk that provided a series of evocative views, contrasts and “surprises” for which he was well known.

One of today’s greatest and most delightful “surprises” is to find this gentleman’s estate with lawns, shrubberies, lakes, woods and meadows still surviving so close to the centre of London. Visit any time, but in spring especially for the display of colourful rhododendrons and stunning handkerchief tree.
