Hidden Gardens of the City of London

St.Dunstan's Garden    Photo: Frederick Muller
Hidden Gardens of the City of London: "From the oldest Guildhall garden to the newer
gardens created after the bomb damage of the
second world war, the financial City contains
almost 200 green spaces, including many little
oases of serenity, and some beautiful water
features.

From hidden courtyards to rooftop gardens and
amazing hidden walkways, this walk is a
revelation. It will introduce you to some restricted
access routes through the City, as well as many
delightful small gardens, unknown to the majority
of the City workers."
