Top 10 Nature & Parks in City of London, England

August 18, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Victoria Embankment Gardens

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

Temple Tube Station is currently closed, so to reach the Aldwych, I had an enjoyable walk from Embankment Tube Station through Victoria Embankment Gardens past the Water Gate and statues and memorials including Robert Burns the Imperial Camel Corps, Lord Cheylesmore, Sir Wilfred Lawson, Robert Raikes (who founded Sunday Schools) and Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) and also out to the Embankment past Cleopatra's Needle brought here in 1878 and located opposite the First World War Memorial from the Belgians. At the end of the Gardens is a further statue to the enginneer Michael Faraday. The gardens are well landscaped and there is a good cafe and an adventurous children's play area. It was a delight to rediscover these gardens.

Garden at 120

Reviewed By TILLYFARLAR

Fabulous view from the top, at the 15th floor. Whilst The Shard also has wonderful views these are all looking down across London. Here many buildings are very close to where you will be standing & you can see inside a few of them. The garden is still new so the vines etc have to get established. Very well laid out with hanging grape vines and a narrow stream weaving its way in between. Very well worth the free visit - we shall be going back next week. Lots to see nearby too, Lloyds insurance bldg, Bloomberg Space etc. and Leadenhall mkt.

Cleary Garden

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

These gardens are on the site of what was once a Roman bath house and in an area that was the hub of the wine trade in mediaeval times. They are named after Fred Cleary, who was responsible for the creation of gardens throughout the City of London in the 1970s, but they were created after the war on the site of a house destroyed in the Blitz and were the work of a shoe maker called Joe Brandis, who brought soil from his own garden in Walthamstow to start the gardens. There are some beautiful plants, including some rare Japanese peonies. This is a site of Local Importance for the Preservation of Nature. A great facility for the City and one very well worth visiting.

St Mary Aldermanbury Garden

Reviewed By Taxidevil - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We were on our way to the Guildhall Art Gallery ( nearby and worth a visit) when we came across this lovely little garden. This was the site of a church since before the Great Fire of London. There is also a bust of William Shakespeare here standing as a memorial to two Shakespearean actors. A fellow traveller was able to tell us that in 1966 remains of the church were sent to Missouri where they now form part of a memorial to Winston Churchill.

Trinity Square Gardens

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

These are lovely gardens, dedicated to the sacrifices made by merchant seamen in various conflicts. It is bordered on one side by the headquarters of the Trinity House charity (well worth visiting) and on another by the busy Upper Thames Street. There are a number of memorials in the gardens, including one commemorating those who died in the First World War, another for casualties of WW2 and one marking the more recent Falklands War. Finally there is a memorial to those nobles and clergy executed by King Henry VIII. Understandably, the gardens are a sobering and emotional place to visit, but you have the reward of a spectacular view of the Tower of London.
