Wildlife Garden

A lovely garden space part of and next to the Natural History Museum. It's a little oasis of peace and of course wildlife. When there we saw a natural beehive in a tree, some hives, some lovely sheep, and happened to meet the man who had found over 90 species of spider on the site. In addition we saw the Ram's Horn Gall.. excellent example and I think the first found in London. There should be more such spaces.. well done to the Natural History Museum for creating such a space.. natural history in action!!

A wonderful corner of London where a remarkably large range of species coexist with the human whirl that is London. Well worth visiting to complement your visit to the array of dead and inert things that make up the collections in the Natural History museum and contrast that with this peaceful haven where chalk grassland abuts sandy heathland and hedgerows restrain woolly sheep.

A beautiful and sequestered piece of green in this hustle city. Find your self a seat, sit down to enjoy nice afternoon sunshine.

Btw, there’s a nice stone bench, perfect for daydreaming or siesta ;)

Beautiful spot, full of wildlife. Enjoy.

A celebration of British biodiversity comprising A mosaic of managed ecological habitats including heathland, meadows and woods.
Probably amongst the most intensely scrutinised, studied and evaluated natural patches on earth.
Occasional public workshops/events. An under-utilised amenity, a destination in its own right, worth seeking out.

A great little space in the heart of Kensington. Also a very welcoming external area if you want to sit in the take the weight off your feet whilst visiting the Natural History Museum. Grab a drink and sit for a while!

The Natural History Museum's Wildlife Garden is located in the south west corner of the museum's site. The land on which the garden was made 'was once an ecologically barren lawn'. The garden was planned for both fauna and flora. It is an attractive garden with great symbolic significance. Traditional gardens were places from which 'wildness' was excluded: only plants useful to man were included. The use could be for the kitchin, as medicines or for beauty. The Wildlife Garden, designed by Adam Loxton Partnership landscape architects in 1995, symbolizes a complete reversal of man's attidude to wild nature.

Nice place to visit. Closed for the visitors, during the winter period.

Amazing place, beautiful butterflies, caterpillars, moths, and plants! The shop is cute too. Plenty to see and do, can easily lose a day here.
