Description:
Neither of these buildings are iconic or of any merit, but we’ve included them because of their prominent locations. They sit on the Southwest and Northwest corners, respectively, of Kensington Gardens and will be familiar sites to many. The Royal Garden Hotel looms colossal and entirely out of proportion, as if to say ‘The park stops here. Sorry’. The Ramada Jarvis meanwhile is as insignificant a building as you could wish to chance across. Unless you’re a Manic Street Preachers fan, in which case, you might be interested to know that the Ramada, then called the Embassy, was the last place Richey Edwards was ever verifiably seen before his presumed suicide.
