Lambeth Palace Gardens

The garden of the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Palace, was open one evening to raise money for charity.  While wandering the ten acres, we were caught in a dramatic and incessant hailstorm, complete with thunder and lightening.  As such, my ability to take photographs was limited. This garden, established in the 12th century, is one of the oldest private gardens in all of England and it is stunning.
