You don't normally need a permit for photography in any parks in London; 
the situation is much like the statement for the US National Parks that 
Jeff quoted. If you want to do commercial work involving models etc then 
you will need a permit. 

I have regularly taken students in to our Botanical Gardens at Kew. The 
only restriction I've found is on the use of tripods in busy areas in the 
glasshouses - and these are allowed at times when there are few visitors.

There are problems for photographers in those properties owned by the 
National Trust in the UK. Also, though largely theoretically, on railway 
property.
