The park provides impressive floral schemes surrounded by manicured lawns. The Tropical Border is one of the finest in London during the summer months. The site has many fine specimen trees and unusual shrubs. The bandstand offers events throughout the summer and visitors to the gardens can enjoy the concerts in provided deckchairs. This vibrant public park is part of the chain of open spaces along Victoria Embankment, designed by Alexander McKenzie and officially opened in 1875.
The historical Watergate is in one corner of the park, built-in 1626 as an entrance to the Thames for the Duke of Buckingham. The gate is still in its original position, but since its creation, the Thames water line has receded and the gate is nearly 100 meters from the water. There are various statues in the park including that of John Stuart Mill, Lady Henry Somerset statue of a girl with a begging bowl, William Edward Forster and a memorial to the poet Robert Burns.
The park was also featured in Michael Caine's 1965 film The Ipcress File. With a bandstand and beautiful surroundings, your trip to London and performance at Victoria Embankment Gardens will be both uplifting and unforgettable.
