We had heard from the English Heritage Magazine that Chiswick Garden had been restored. We decided to explore the garden on the Bank Holiday on 30 August 2010. As we had visited there last year, we remembered the route from Turnham Green. Upon arrival at Chiswick Garden, we followed the woodland walks and found the cafe and children's playground, which had been added on the park. We walked through the backyard of the house and sat down on the bank to the river. We had a picnic overlooking the river and cascade.

Chiswick House & Gardens There are several properties in London which are under the care of English Heritage. Chiswick House & Gardens is one of them. We decided to visit there on 4 May.

That's a quick version on it as that wasn't the most memorable parts of our day!!. So we headed for lunch at Noodle Noodle and I was very suprised at the size of a Noodle Noodle bowl. After finishing that off we set off for Buckingham Palace, just in time to see the changing of the guard. After that we headed to Big Ben for the 5 pm chime. We stood there for a ... read more
