Kensington Gardens Square Garden

Welcome to the official web site for the communal gardens in Kensington Gardens Square, London W2.
 
This site has been established to provide important information to people interested in the gardens, how they are managed and how to enjoy them. The gardens are for the benefit of the residents of Kensington Gardens Square and have provided many generations of residents invaluable tranquility in one of London’s busiest neighbourhoods.
 
The committee of the KGSGA (Kensington Gardens Square Garden Association) would like to encourage active use by all residents, so a major focus of this site is to explain how to become a key holder. Please enjoy reading the information about the gardens and we hope to welcome new key holders throughout the year.
