Lambeth - Garden Museum in and around Church.

Problem
Where to start?

Answer
The most easy to reach is the one in London, the Garden Museum in a former church by a bridge, Lambeth, London, England.

How to Get There
It is by Lambeth bridge which crosses the River Thames. Nearest London underground (nicknamed the tube) is Vauxhall. Combine with a trip to see the London Eye. If you are a walker you might also consider Lambeth North station or Westminster.

Look at a tube map and you'll see that Vauxhall is on the blue Victoria line, two stops south of Victoria underground station, four stops from Oxford Circus, 6 stops from Euston.
Lambeth North is on the Bakerloo line, (so called because it runs from Baker Street to Waterloo), one stop south of Waterloo.

What is a knot garden? It is a symmetrical garden with a square pattern which became popular in Elizabethan times. You will see a lot of these formal gardens in France, especially in the Chateaux of the Loire valley. A complete contrast to the English Garden style of Capability Brown who created vistas of  what looked like free form lakes and trees and mounds in the distance which appear as if they had grown naturally.
