Description:
The K+K Garden of Varieties offers an island of peace in London’s hustle and bustle. Imposing Victorian plane trees with gnarled trunks and surrounded by deep green lawns are the central feature of this classic English garden.
There are garden niches of different character to awake the walker's curiosity. A shimmering stone sculpture is set in a spiral footpath, which leads to an area reminiscent of a jungle and a still, peaceful corner with an Asian atmosphere inviting one to rest.
The view of the neighbouring garden gives the impression of depth and of walking in a park. Four patio areas provide seating to relax, contemplate and enjoy your favourite apéritif.
London's mild climate allows a surprising range of plants from different parts of the world to thrive. Highlights are the Tasmanian tree ferns, a rice-paper tree, passionflowers and the lignified fuchsia.
