Golders Hill Park, Urban park in Golders Green, London, England.
Golders Hill Park is an urban green space in North London featuring distinct garden areas, including a walled garden with tropical plants and a water garden with large ponds. The 16-hectare grounds also include a small zoo section housing various animal species.
The site became a public park in 1898, establishing itself as a recreational space for the local community over more than a century. A main building that occupied the current cafe location was destroyed during World War II.
The bandstand serves as a community gathering spot, especially during summer evenings when live performances draw neighbors and visitors together. These regular events shape the rhythm of local life and create a sense of shared experience.
The park opens daily from 7:30 AM and provides good accessibility with on-site facilities including a cafe for visitors. Golders Green station is the nearest transport link and offers convenient access to the grounds.
The park includes a small zoo section featuring ring-tailed lemurs, Scottish wildcats, and Bennett's wallabies alongside other species. This combination of gardens and animal viewing offers an experience different from typical London green spaces.
