The park boasts an innovative children’s play area
Emslie Horniman lived in Chelsea but was inspired to create the park which today bears his name in North Kensington by Sister Ruth, a local nun who worked with the poor of Kensal Town. Emslie Horniman was interested in the arts and gave the commission to design the park to the architect Charles Voysey hence the name ‘Voysey Garden’.
Nowadays the park hosts 20,000 people over the August bank holiday when it becomes the official launch pad of the Notting Hill Carnival.
