St George’s Gardens
This park has a rich history. Hidden from the main road; it feels like walking into a local secret! The Gardens were once the burial ground for two nearby churches, but in 1884 the St George’s Gardens were opened. They created outdoor sitting rooms and still holds onto its Victorian routes. The winding paths, beautiful tombs, and little details like the figure of Euterpe, the Muse of Instrumental Music, make this a perfect place for whiling away a few hours.

St Ethelburga’s Centre
This amazing little secret garden in Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street station, is part of the St Etherburga’s centre for reconciliation and peace. They inspire and equip people from all backgrounds to become peace-builders in their own communities and lives. St Ethelburga’s was once a medieval church that, sadly, was mostly destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993. The remains of the church were rebuilt as a centre for peace to welcome anyone of any religion and provide a wonderful space for thinking. They invite you to come and experience the tranquil atmosphere of the medieval nave, their traditional bedouin tent and award-winning garden, offering an oasis of calm amongst the bustle of the city.
