Jubilee Gardens

Honestly, the views here are half the reason people stop — you’ve got the London Eye basically right there, Big Ben across the river, and the Thames rolling past all at once. It’s not the biggest green space, but for toddlers who just need to run around on grass while you sit and eat a sandwich, it does the job nicely. Grab one of the picnic tables and you’ve accidentally got yourself one of the better lunches in London without paying for it. The shade trees help on warmer days, and the walking path keeps little ones from disappearing too fast.
