Kensington Palace Gardens
Having inspired the creation of Peter Pan, the 265-arce Kensington Palace Gardens is now home to a bronze statue of Pan. The Albert Memorial is situated in the Gardens, commemorating Prince Consort Albert, Queen Victoria’s beloved husband who died from typhoid fever at 42. Peter Pan’s ever-youthful glory seems to contrast with Prince Albert’s early death, forming the perfect setting for a solemn view of the Kensington Palace in its west.
