For the tag structure I have /city/Munich/English Garden. Now let's assume that I'll visit London and I'll take some pictures in Hyde Park. I'll tag them with "Hyde Park" and I'll use the tag structure /city/London/Hyde Park. Ok, no problems so far.

For this particular example you should consider using geotagging to locate the actual place and then use the Parks/ hierarchy to allow you to look at all your park photos.

The main problem is that geotagging support in digikam is there but is not as polished as something like iPhoto or Picasa.
