Originally built in 1605, these gardens used to be an old castle sheltering many famous families. The gardens spread over 20 hectares, showcasing a beautiful replica of authentic Japanese gardens. You can see the stone carvings in Japanese style, numerous species of trees and plants, waterfalls, peacocks and herons roaming around, and even the koi crap fish. During the spring, you can even witness the famous Japanese cherry blossom and a variety of flowers around the garden.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chelsea_Physic_Garden\"><\/span>Chelsea Physic Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chelsea-Physic-Garden.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea Physic Garden London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chelsea-Physic-Garden.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chelsea-Physic-Garden-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chelsea-Physic-Garden-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nNestled in a hidden corner of London, just off upmarket Cheyne Walk, Chelsea Physic Garden is the second oldest botanical garden in the United Kingdom, dating back to the late 17th century. It features the tallest standing olive tree in Britain and the cultivation of medicinal plants. There are around 5000 plants on exhibit for the public, with their usage and benefits clearly explained. Some of them are indeed rare plants to be found. The garden has a gift shop, a book shop, and a Tangerine Dream caf\u00e9.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sir_John_Soanes_Museum\"><\/span>Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Sir-John-Soanes-Museum.jpg\" alt=\"Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Sir-John-Soanes-Museum.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Sir-John-Soanes-Museum-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Sir-John-Soanes-Museum-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum is undoubtedly one of the most unusual places in London <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as well as one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/best-museums-in-london\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best museums in London<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>Why? The moment you enter the museum, you will be stunned by the crazy and baffling maze of narrow corridors and rooms. Sir John Soane was a talented architect and collector known for designing some of the most famous buildings in London, such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Bank of England. After his death, this house became an incredible museum, exhibiting over 45,000 art objects, all from the personal collection of Sir John Soane himself.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Little_Venice\"><\/span>Little Venice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Little-Venice.jpg\" alt=\"Little Venice London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Little-Venice.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Little-Venice-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Little-Venice-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs the name suggests, Little Venice is London\u2019s aesthetic of the famous Italian city. Stretching from Hyde Park to Warwick Avenue, it follows a series of tree-lined canals that most tourists miss on their London trip. The colourful canal boats, charming tearooms and cafes, brunch on a canal boat, and much more make your day memorable. Visit Little Venice during the summer months in any location between Paddington and Camden Town and make the most of the canal boat journey. In fact, this is amongst the most enjoyable and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/london-january-delights-2024\/\">fun things to do in London<\/a>.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Dunstans_in_the_East\"><\/span>St Dunstan\u2019s in the East<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/St-Dunstans-in-the-East.jpg\" alt=\"St Dunstan\u2019s in the East Garden\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/St-Dunstans-in-the-East.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/St-Dunstans-in-the-East-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/St-Dunstans-in-the-East-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nSt Dunstan\u2019s in the East is one of those hidden gems in London. It sits right in the heart of the busiest parts of London. The Church of St. Dunstan stands between the Tower of London and London Bridge, making it easy to overlook. Builders constructed this medieval church between the 11th and 12th centuries and refurbished it several times. After WWII partially destroyed the church, the Anglican Church decided not to rebuild it. All that survived was its tower and steeple, which today is an incredible architectural project.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Postmans_Park\"><\/span>Postman\u2019s Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Postmans-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Postman\u2019s Park London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Postmans-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Postmans-Park-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Postmans-Park-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe Postman\u2019s Park gained its popularity as a lunchtime spot for the workers at the old General Post Office nearby. It now houses a memorial to George Fredric Watt&#8217;s heroic self-sacrifice and ordinary people venerating tragic acts of bravery. You can see the long wall holding the gallery of tablets featuring their heroic moments engraved on them. The park is small yet houses the stories of brave people. Take a seat on one of the benches and engulf the cool breeze and calmness that Postman\u2019s Park has to offer you.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barbican_Conservatory\"><\/span>Barbican Conservatory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Barbican-Conservatory.jpg\" alt=\"Barbican Conservatory London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Barbican-Conservatory.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Barbican-Conservatory-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Barbican-Conservatory-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nYou don\u2019t have to travel far to explore the collection of nature when you can find one right in the heart of London. The Barbican Conservatory is absolutely exotic on the list of best-hidden gems in London and is free of charge. The garden opened its doors to the general public in 1984, and today is the second-largest indoor rainforest in London. It is home to beautiful grounds consisting of tropical flora, fauna, and different species of fish under the massive glass conservatory, mirroring the different climates suiting the plants in the garden.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Royal_Exchange\"><\/span>The Royal Exchange<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Royal-Exchange.jpg\" alt=\"The Royal Exchange London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Royal-Exchange.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Royal-Exchange-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Royal-Exchange-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe Royal Exchange is among those places which are overlooked by a majority of tourists. Founded in 1566 as the first place for trading stocks in London, this monumental building has a fascinating history. The Royal Exchange faced destruction twice by fire and had to rebuild three times at the end of the 20th century. The building we see today is a refurbished model built in 2001. You can visit the Royal Exchange for luxury shopping or capture some Instagram-worthy pictures.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Painted_Hall\"><\/span>The Painted Hall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Painted-Hall.jpg\" alt=\"The Painted Hall London\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Painted-Hall.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Painted-Hall-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/The-Painted-Hall-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe Painted Hall, located inside the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, is something to behold.
