Parks & Squares in London - City of London
St Dunstan's Hill , City of London, London, EC3R 5DJ

The bombed ruins of a medieval church and Wren Tower made into a charming scene by imaginative planting of wall chrubs and climbers and an effective fountain. An outstanding example of a small City space, which makes the maximum use of scarce resources. Designed by the City of London Architects and Parks Departments in 1971. It won a Landscape Heritage Award in 1976. Off Roehampton Lane.

St Dunstan-in-the-East London Reviews


Utopia - This is the sort of place that I'm loathe to review as it belongs to ME, I found it, I was there first and its mine, if you want to go there you can message me and I'll see if I can slot you in sometime around 7am in February. I serious, if this place starts blowing up and getting busy I'm gonna be mad.

Essentially its an old Christopher Wren church that got bombed and rebuilt one time too many so they thought 'what the heck - lets turn it into a garden, that way we only have to carry in some benches rather than build up that whole wall again' - I'm awesome glad that they did that. There's plants growing up all the walls and there's a central bit with a little fountain and benches around it and its a proper sun trap. Sitting here you feel a million miles away from London but its not like being in the countryside - its kind of unlike anywhere I've ever been.

Anyway as I said, I found it, its mine, if I see you there without asking my permission whether you can hang out there I'm gonna get mad.
