The place is very beautiful. I was able to hold a birthday party for my children and play football with their friends and have a lot of fun. I recommend this place, especially if your house is small and we cannot invite many friends.

There’s Secret garden with a pond. The perfect place to relax. Listen to the birds and the beautiful scenery. There’s also a cafe and a huge playground for kids. Right next to the station.

A gem of a secret garden in North London, Canons Park. Really large green spaces, with a few historic sites. There is an outdoor gym and kids playground. Lots of fun for families as lots to do. Secret garden is located in the center, full of peace and tranquility. Good location as its quite too. Will definitely recommend this park.

I walk here every day. The park is well maintained, with lots of nooks and crannies that the dogs like and you always bump into lovely people. It has a big children’s playground too, a cafe in summer and a secluded garden. This park is true hidden gem. As a photographer I have used the park as a backdrop on several occasions.
