Your Garden Escape

Even in the big city you can find oases(绿洲) of calm and beauty. From a royal palace to a

classical garden, we recommend great green spaces to escape the hustle and bustle of London.

Horniman Gardens

Horniman Gardens cover 16 acres with breathtaking views of London. Visitors can enjoy

the Sound Garden, Meadow Field, and even a Prehistoric Garden, which features a display of

“living fossils.”The gardens are very popular with families, and dogs can be let off their leads in

the Meadow Field.

Chiswick Garden

As a classical garden landscape in London, it was here that the English Landscape

Movement was born with William Kent's fresh bread, seasonal food, and natural

wines in the award-winning cafe, while admiring the beauty of the naturalistic landscape, spotted

with impressive art and statues.

Buckingham Palace Garden

The 39-acre garden boasts more than 350 types of wildflowers,over 200 trees and a

three-acre lake. The garden also provides a habitat for native birds rarely seen in London. A tour

of the garden can be completed by having a cream tea in the cafe overlooking the Palace's

famous grassland and lake.

Kew Garden

The Royal Botanic Garden at Kew is one of the world's most famous gardens and a

UNESCO World Heritage Site. Have a walk through the vast garden, spot local wildlife at the

B

My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the

horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but

I lived in my mother's arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like

a curtain separating me from the world.

Childhood was borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and

monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and

muddy village was archaic ,dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.

There weren't many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our

own group.

They called us wild.I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and

fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society,we

would bound into the woods,deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell,

we would jump into all at once.

My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and

the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against

sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking

muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没),time would suspend,movements slowing as bubbles rose

around us.

I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.

For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be

forced back out into breathing air.

We should have known that it wouldn't last , even under the best circumstances,

there's something so tragic about growing up:to have your perspective on the people and life

around you change; to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see

your reflection one day. And find,a different person staring back out at you.
