However, the gardens retain their historical charm and are a sought-after refuge for both locals and tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-features-of-the-gardens\">Features of the Gardens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Crystal Palace Gardens are organised into several themed areas.
