Within Kensington Gardens lies The Round Pond, originally commissioned by George II in 1730. The Pond, although not actually round, can be seen directly from Kensington Palace, flanked all around by mature trees, access to other areas and most northerly, the Broadwalk.
Starting in January 2014, a large scale renovation project began, to restore the Pond to its former glory in accordance with the original 1734 design by Charles Bridgeman (see below). Bridgeman’s vision included sharp edges creating a contrast with the water, presented on a plateau to be viewed from the Palace, and by its occupants in the most decadent manner. During the 18th and 19th century, other designs have changed the landscape of the Pond and surrounding Gardens, however it was felt that restoring the original Bridgeman design would be most appropriate.
