Secret Gardens by the River

I have been doing a lot of cycling around London. My favorite ride so far has been to cycling west along the river. There are the most delightful gardens next to the Chiswick Eyot. Each one is so sweet. There are neatly trimmed hedges and wooden gates. Enormous weeping willows stand over perfectly groom flower beds. There's always a bench or a humble wooden seat. I can't imagine a better place to have tea. Each one feels like a secret garden.
