Dovehouse Green was originally a gift from Sir Hans Sloane to the borough in 1733, for use as a burial ground. Today the park used by locals and visitors, who enjoy sitting among the trees and spring daffodils and watching the world go by.
This city garden is located across the road from Chelsea Town Hall, on the corner of the fashionable Kings Road and Dovehouse Street and offers a welcome rest bite from the hectic pace of city living.
The gardens were refurbished in 1977 to commemorate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and again in 2003, in celebration of her Golden Jubilee. The park is illuminated at night and has paved walkways and plenty of seating.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
