UK park that inspired Peter Pan – where exotic birds eat out of your hands
Finding cheap things to do in London is becoming increasingly difficult, with the cost of everything on the up.
However, for the price of an apple, or a packet of sunflower seeds, you can get up close and personal with some of London's most colourful residents.
Anyone who's wandered through the city's parks will have heard the shrill high-pitched chirp of the ring-necked parakeet.
They're a fairly skittish species and usually keep as far from people as possible. However, in Kensington Gardens they've learnt humans can be an easy source of food.
They appear happy to pose for photos either close by or perched atop your head if they're feeling extra friendly, providing an excellent free wildlife activity right in the centre of London.
The park is a fitting place to have a small green bird on your shoulder, given that it inspired one of the most famous pirate stories ofall time.
Author JM Barrie lived close to Kensington Gardens and used them as a setting for his most famous book - Peter Pan.
