Hall Place Gardens
Hall Place is a little north of Bexley (not Bexley Heath) to the east of London. The gardens are free, there is a large car park, the rail station is not far away, there is small butterfly house, entrance to the hall is £8 and it makes a great day out. The hall dates back to about 1540 and was built on the site of a manor house built about 1240. More at The Hall Place Website, Hall Place Interiors and History of Hall Place.

I was almost taken in by the architecture (we just don’t have stuff like that around here), but then I saw the beasts. I don’t think we have stuff like that around here 😉 Reminds me of The Shining.

Sorry about that. Try thinking of hot chocolate instead. 😛

That shouldn’t be a problem! Our temperatures are dipping near the freezing mark during the days now. Hot beverages are frequently in order 🙂

Quite so. It is good day out with the Hall, art gallery, flowers, butterflies, river and wild fowl. I’m glad you enjoyed. 🙂
