They've spent a lot of time doing up the facilities in this park so not only does it have beautiful landscaped gardens and waterfalls in central London, it now has all the family basics sorted like decent baby changing, food stops and outdoor activities like tennis courts, Go Ape, Mini Golf. For those without kids, it's a really vibrant park to check out and you can also walk or run along the river if you're feeling healthy.
