EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of Kensington Gardens in London during the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the social scenes of Britain's past. The serene setting of the gardens, established in 1689, is a popular retreat for locals and visitors alike, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. In this image, taken near the Serpentine lake in 1914, we see a group of people enjoying a leisurely afternoon outing. The women, dressed in elegant Edwardian attire, are seen strolling along the grassy banks of the lake, while the men, in suits and hats, engage in a lively game of cricket on the nearby lawn. Children play nearby, adding a sense of joy and wonder to the scene. The serene waters of the Serpentine reflect the clear blue sky above, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. Kensington Gardens, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, has a rich history and is home to numerous landmarks, including the Albert Memorial, the Diana Memorial Fountain, and the Italian Gardens. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of the gardens and the social activities that have taken place there for centuries. It provides a fascinating window into the past, allowing us to imagine the lives of those who came before us and the simple pleasures they found in the beauty of nature.
