Laid out in 1858 on reclaimed marsh, and denser than most London parks: a boating lake with herons, a sub-tropical garden that has been planted since the 1860s, a small children's zoo, and the London Peace Pagoda standing on the river wall. The promenade along the Thames faces Chelsea and is flat the whole way.
