Elephant Springs — Attraction in London

Place is nice. Very small, but well designed from a landscape architecture point of view. Biggest problem was that the water fountain wasn't working, which was very frustrating bc we had been wanting to go there for a long time and waited for a hot day.

How has simple play become so monitored and controlled? Why are their security men in black unfriendly uniforms with radios policing Childrens play and attire ? I’ve never experienced that at...
