Reviews
Small, but beautiful park, close to Lords cricket ground, there are play areas for children, a giant chess set, table tennis etc, and two small graveyards. A super place to relax, especially today, as the sun was shining.
Happy to report this place bends towards the Mother-Nature-knows-best, wilding kind of resting place, in common with the 'Magnificent Seven', those grand (& much more landed) Victorian cemeteries of much renown and excellent PR. Of note, two other comments: due to this garden's small dimensions, the oxygen generators (plants) are rather up against it, boxed in on all sides as they are by the typical 3+3 lane local petrol/diesel highway, a scale so obviously bloated and pro-car that it has been almost banished from South, East and North London with only positive effects for the other road users and those who like to breathe air; yet they are still common in west London. At a guess, there may be still just enough vocal gas-guzzling upper-middle showoffs left to bully the authorities here that the right to accelerate and brake a Porsche SUV in 200 yard stretches between each set of traffic lights trumps the value of a healthy generation of children with a planet to live on. Why anyone ever said west London was the superior part, with motorway traffic on practically every other corner, don't ask me!
The outdoor gym, a view of The cricket ground plus walking distance to Baker Street, Regent Park and other attractions
I’m regularly in the area having recently purchased an apartment just a stones throw away from the gardens. I often come here during the early hours of the morning after completing my run to meditate for a short period and it’s usually pretty much empty then. The gardens appear small at first glance but as you walk through, you soon realise it’s much bigger with more seating space further down. There’s something I cannot explain about the energy of this place-there’s this sense of serenity I feel here like nowhere else.
A well kept public gardens opposite lords cricket ground.Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leads. The ground-men / gardeners work extremely hard to keep this a peaceful and well maintained public space. There is a small children’s playground that keep the grandchildren occupied and during the summer deckchairs are available on the main green. The flowerbed are stunning and bursting with colour during the summer months. The gardens are so peaceful and just a short stroll to St Johns Woods High Street.
