Bingo



Bingo is a game of chance in which randomly selected numbers are drawn and players match these numbers to those appearing on their 5 x 5 grid Bingo cards. A player who is able to form a specific pattern of drawn numbers on their cards called out "Bingo". The player win the game if the numbers matches the numbers in the correct pattern.



Each bingo card contains a unique combination of numbers. There are up to 75 random numbers. Each player can select to play up to eight Bingo cards. Once a numbered ball is selected from the Numbered Ball Container, it is announced to the players. The ball is set aside while each player search their cards for the called number. If the player sees the matching number, which is the number being called, he will mark it.



To win Bingo, player must match the pattern by marking off the numbers as they are called before another player does. If more than one player claims Bingo the player who claims Bingo first will win the current game and a new game will start.

Winged Lion Sculpture




Avenue Gardens and The English Gardens (Regent's Park)

The Avenue Gardens, also known as the 'Italian Gardens', were designed in the mid 19th century by the Victorian garden designer Andrew Nesfield, who also designed the Palm House in Kew. His son, Markham Nesfield, landscaped the adjacent English Gardens. Both were restored in the 1990s with the addition of fountains. The simple layout of the garden consists of four avenues of trees, long gravel paths and colourful flower beds among stonework and evergreen hedging. The huge Lion Tazza urn overflows with flowers in the centre of the garden. This is the original Nesfield bowl, supported by four winged lions.

Queen Mary's Garden (Inner Circle)
In the silver Jubilee year of 1935 the Inner Circle Gardens were renamed Queen Mary's Garden by George V, as she often visited them. Her gardens include the spectacular Rose Garden, formed in 1930 following a donation of bushes from the British Rose Growers Association. This garden includes more than 400 types of rose, the scent of which reachese the furthest boundaries of the park. The gardens' recently restored black and gold Jubilee Gates show the date 6 May 1935, under the King's initials. These gates, along with the Chester Road gates, were a gift from the painter Sigismund Goetze to commemorate the Jubilee.



The Secret Garden

This small, secluded garden is one of the park's hidden highlights. It was designed in 1891 for the third Marquis of Bute, who wanted a garden 'fit for meditation'. The entrance is through unmarked green iron gates, off the Inner Circle, near Chester Road. The garden has statues of Hylas and the Nymph set in a stone pool, the topless Goatherd's daughter and the Awakening, two faces within a split seed. There are elegant high-backed wooden benches, numerous nooks of clipped yew and lavender and a sunken lawn rolled out like an exotic rug from the gently curved stone steps facing St John's Lodge, the first villa to be built in the park.

Kensington Palace Sculpture






Kensington Palace, an intimate royal palace, was Princess Diana's residence in London and place of birth of Queen Victoria. Kensington Palace has been a residence of the British Royal Family since the 17th century. The first sovereign residents here were William and Mary in 1689. Queen Victoria was born here in 1837 and opened parts of the palace to the public, including some of the State Apartments. These are still open today, along with a beautiful Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, containing period court dress, including some belonging to The Queen, is included in admission.

Today Kensington Palace is the official residence of The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester; the Duke and Duchess of Kent; and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. In 1981 apartments 8 and 9 were combined to create the London residence of the newly married Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles and Diana, and it remained the official residence of Diana, Princess of Wales after her marriage and until the day of her death. Kensington Palace has a superb location right in the heart of one of London's most prestigious areas and close to many popular London museums and famous shopping stores. A peaceful tour of the Palace and its gardens followed by refreshments in the Orangery is the perfect combination for any visitor.






The must see attractions at the
Kensington Palace are : The bedroom where Princess Victoria was woken and told she was a Queen, the splendid Cupola Room where Princess Victoria was baptised, the beautifully restored King's Gallery with its excellent collection of 17th century paintings and remarkable wind-dial, the magnificent Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection; a display of royal children's clothes, with items from Princess Victoria to Prince Charles and Princess Anne.
