Roper’s Gardens are a hidden gem on the Chelsea Embankment, that offer visitors a tranquil haven steeped in history, to escape the hubbub of city living. It is believed that Roper’s Gardens have been located close to the River Thames and the Old Chelsea Church for many centuries.
This small city garden has been thoughtfully designed, with an elegant layout and careful planting. An ancient cherry tree is the gardens most outstanding feature, which was planted to celebrate the visit of Gunji Koizumi, who introduced judo to the UK.

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.
