- Ruth Vakrat FogelApril 15, 2013One of the best places to spend sunny Sunday in London. The garden is small but beautiful and peaceful. Bring a book/sketchbook and plan to stay for lunch - the food in the restaurant is great.

Dan SchaumannOctober 28, 2011I love how the £5 / year rent that Hans Sloane decided upon in 1722 is still being paid to his descendants today. That's such a typically British thing to do :)
HISTORY UKJanuary 17, 2011The garden was leased to the Society of Apothecaries in 1722, so that ‘apprentices may the better distinguish good and useful plants from those that bear resemblance to them and yet are hurtfull.’

The largest fruiting olive tree in Britain and the world's northern-most outdoor grapefruit tree call the historic Chelsea Physic Gardens home. Established in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, these botanic and apothecary gardens provide both an aesthetic and practical purpose.

"One of my favourite parks in London, some lanes for slowly biking and taking in nice weather. Has also a mini zoo, a pagoda, lakes, botanical gardens and view to the Thames so it's very cool"

"The service is touch and go but this pub has lovely food (the aubergine fritters with honey are delicious) and because of its slightly hidden location, getting a table is normally only a short wait."
