Numerous decorative reliefs and chimeric figures adorn the elegant Portland stone Pump House, built to operate and supply water to the elaborate fountains of the Italian Gardens in the Kensington Gardens near Kensington Palace in Westminster.
Our favorite relief carving are the intertwined initials of Queen Victoria in Prince Albert, their official royal cipher from the time of their marriage until Albert's untimely death.
The beautiful Italian Gardens were built by Prince Albert for his beloved wife Queen Victoria in 1860. Today they are a popular place for families and children, birdwatchers, and anyone who needs a quiet and serene place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of busy London.
