These expansive gardens were nice to visit. On the edge of the university, they are freely open to the public and a short detour from some of the campus paths.

It was nice to explore the different areas from wooded parkland to arid collections. A smattering of information is placed around that includes English translations.

Though the variety was good, I noticed a lot of dead and barren areas and overall the gardens were not as well tended as some other botanical gardens that I have visited previously.

A nice diversion if nearby.

The place was, unsurprisingly, packed for brunch on a Sunday, so booking ahead was a good idea.

Food was delicious with loads of interesting sweet and savoury options. Would be happy to return to try more of them and recommend as a lovely place to brunch.

Prices about standard for London. Some of the seating was a little dense so could feel uncomfortably close to neighbouring tables if you are not seated in the middle.

Nice vegetarian restaurant but not amazing.

Enjoyed the colourful mix of ingredients. The wrap was mostly very tasty, although the last few bites ended up as only incredibly salty tapenade. The tofu was delicious but the rice bowl was a little underdressed on the whole. Poutine was too soggy and bland and not recommended.

Overall found the price point on the high side for being underwhelmed but not terrible.
