Syion House is a Castle opposite Kew Gardens. There is a large garden that streches down onto the Thames river.
There is a few activities apart from relaxing next to the river. There is a reptile park (snakes & crocodiles), walk-in butterfly house and a large lake that one can either sit next to for free or pay £19 for a days fishing. Difficult to believe it's in central London. I chanced my luck and caught a 6 pound rainbow trout. There is also a farmers market, nursery and outdoor center.
There is a neighbouring farm, with cows and horses for the kids to see as well as a variety of ducks, swans and the ever impressive peacock.
Syion Park can be reached by car with a large car park or by tube to Gunnersbury and then the 256 bus.
Advantage is that it is free for the parks and gardens and only £3 entry into the other sectors. A great day out for both young and old.
