LONDON — British and Japanese volunteers are currently restoring one of London's finest Japanese landscape gardens with the aim to reviving it in time for its 100th anniversary.

The Garden of Peace was originally completed in 1910 on the site of the massive Japan British exhibition in White City, west London, which showcased Japan to the general public. A much bigger Japanese floating garden was also constructed, but this no longer exists.

Over the years, the garden, which forms part of Hammersmith Park, has become overgrown and some of the original features have been taken away. In addition, two of the original ponds have been filled to make the site a little smaller.
