Walking in London – The Pergola and Hill Gardens

Walking in London – The Pergola and Hill Gardens

Earlier today I saw a post from the lovely Suzie Speaks blog about inexpensive things to see or do in London. So I thought I should add information about the beautiful Pergola and Hill Gardens. These gardens are my favourite free thing to visit in London. They are also probably one of North London’s best kept secrets!

I’ll split the walk into two posts, in case some of you plan to follow the official sections of the route. The first half of our…
