GREENWICH Park's Queen's Orchard has reopened following its restoration.
Volunteers, youngsters and members of the park Friends group chipped in to help add new attractions to the 17th century favourite.
Its new metal decorative gate was designed by pupils from the John Roan and Meridian schools, alongside artist Heather Burrell.
Dating back to the 1500s, the heritage fruit trees, planted by volunteers include apples, pears, cherries, plums, peaches, apricot, nectarine, medlar and quince.
Pathways have also been restored along with raised planting beds using timber and brick, plus two ponds, a formal pond at the centre of the vegetable area and an informal pond by the fruit tree meadow.
Park manager Graham Dear said: "The Queen’s Orchard has never looked so good and I’m very proud to have it as part of Greenwich Park.
"I’d like to thank all of our local residents, schools and volunteers for their support and help to get the orchard looking the way it does today.
"I hope that park visitors will appreciate this new attraction and enjoy it for years to come."
The orchard is open on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm starting on April 21.
