Kensington Gardens
The main attraction of the Gumshoe hotel, of course after its perfect service quality and 5-star level, is that it lies close to the Kensington Gardens in London. Kensington is an area situated in the very heart of London near the City of Westminster. It presents the richest part of the cultural heritage of Great Britain (Stott, 2000. p. 53).
The Kensington Gardens were founded in 1728 – 1738 by two famous architects of that epoch Henry Wise and Charles Bridgeman. According to the legend, the price of all the beauties of the Kensington Gardens was “a Crown”, as the Prime-Minister answered the King George III when he inquired about it. And such a price is accurate if you visit our hotel and attend Kensington as a part of your rest (Heffernan, 2002, p. 207).
The famous Round Pond, Dutch Garden lying in the deep of Kensington and, of course the world-wide known Serpentine, or “Long Waters” will not let you be bored in Kensington (Tompsett, 2005, p. 43). Your outlook of the world and the overall impression about the British culture will be greatly enriched if you visit the so called Italian Garden in the north-western part of Kensington. This Garden consists of four luxurious fountains and numerous pieces of the classical sculpture (Stott, 2000, p. 53).
Moreover, the features you have to see with your own eyes are the Serpentine Bridge, the Albert Memorial, West Carriage Drive and the famous statue of Peter Pan. The Kensington Gardens, earlier considered as the part of Hyde Park, are nowadays called to be the “brain” of London because lots of observatories, Kensington Gallery and museum are situated here and are the place of gathering of the smartest people in London (Tompsett, 2005, p. 43).
