This is an oasis of calm, high up on a hill with stunning views of Los Angeles. It’s an art gallery and café, but it’s also fascinating to walk around with beautiful gardens and striking architecture. Best of all, it’s free! Closed on Mondays. It’s signed from the Interstate 405 with the main gate on Sepulveda Boulevard. This is an extract from our free Los Angeles City Guide.
