The Rose Garden, Greenwich Royal Park, Greenwich

The Rose Garden in Greenwich Park offers another beautiful rural sight right in the center of a massive city. However, the picturesque scene this time is more English country estate than a country village.

Greenwich Park's popular rose garden is located on the eastern side of the park and forms the backdrop to the Ranger's House, an elegant Georgian villa that was originally the residence of the Park Ranger. The Rose Garden is made up of various flower beds that extend outward in a semicircle from the magnificent Ranger's House. The Ranger's House, a former country manor house owned by a wealthy businessman and now home to one of London's best art galleries, the Wernher Collection, undoubtedly boosts this picture-perfect garden. You should also take the walk from the Ranger's House through The Rose Garden to get to the magnificent Greenwich Park cherry blossoms if you're fortunate enough to visit in the spring around the end of April.
