On Saturday I went on a trip to the Chislehurst caves with the Metropolitian Ramblers club. The caves are 22 miles of underground passages that have been dug out for chalk and flint mining, they were also used as a shelter for 15000 people during the war. We then went on a walk through Petts wood.
On Sunday there was the Open Gardens event in London, this is when a number of gardens that are generally not open to the public open the gates to those who have bought tickets to the event. The Roof Garden, part of the Virgin Empire had a restaurant, ducks, flamingoes, ponds and full size trees on the roof. The Ismaili centre also had a roof garden that was very tranquil. The rest of the gardens that I visited were private gardens that normally only the surrounding houses have access to. The event was sponsored by the Loire Valley wines company who provided wine tasting at a number of the gardens.
