Queen Mary's Rose Garden

Set within the Inner Circle of Regent's Park, Queen Mary's Gardens were laid out in the 1930s and now hold one of Britain's largest collections of roses, arranged in formal beds around a central lake and fountain. The display peaks in June, when the scent and colour draw both photographers and picnickers, though the garden remains attractive well beyond that with its lawns and mature planting. Reviewers consistently rank it among London's most beautiful and peaceful floral spaces.
