Well established small historical (ie 1713) park/gardens that are lovely to wander through or peaceful for a quiet chill on one of their benches. They are not very obvious as they are amongst buildings that don’t normally get the tourist footfall. Beautifully green in summer when we visited. Originally this space was a burial ground for two nearby churches. It was turned into a garden in 1884 and then restored around the millenium, re-opening in Spring 2001. Worth wandering through if you are nearby, and especially nice when you know the history of it.

St George's Gardens is a peaceful green space in central London, offering a unique blend of history and tranquility. Originally an 18th-century burial ground, it’s now a public park with winding paths, mature trees, and benches, perfect for a quiet break from the city’s usual pace. The garden’s history adds a reflective atmosphere, with ivy-covered tombstones, monuments, and inscriptions that give a glimpse into London’s past. It’s a charming spot for a gentle walk, a lunch break, or simply a moment to recharge, with plenty of shaded areas under the trees. Throughout the year, the gardens have their own seasonal beauty, with blooming flowers in spring and autumn colors adding warmth to the historic scenery. It’s a hidden gem for anyone looking for a calm, thoughtful space in the heart of London – an ideal retreat for city dwellers and visitors alike.

Another of London's old burial grounds that has survived to become a green open space. We should be pleased that London has so many . Many of them are only known to the local residents or nearby workers & see far less footfall from tourists. St. George's was one of the first of London's graveyards to serve that purpose without actually being attached to a church ( 1713 ). By the mid 19th c it was full & became a garden. There are decorative wrought iron gateways at both ends of the garden with information boards which are worth reading. Plenty of benches to sit on , the lawns are studded with chest tombs & in one corner an obelisk. Also headstones up against the walls. There is an old drinking fountain near some seating bays which are more secluded due to surrounding , clipped hedging. Also a statue of Euterpe, the Muse of instrumental music. Usual mix of users when I visited ; dog walkers , people socialising or reading plus the inevitable professional drinkers , dope smokers & addicts that habitually use these little gardens. Although a very pleasant spot it is somewhat scruffy , weedy & litter in some parts. One side borders some rather dismal buidings that may be attached to the adjacent Coram's Fields & metal barriers block access to the very edge of the gardens. Here is a tangle of undergrowth & ivy sprinkled with litter. In one place an ornamental urn sits sits on a pedestal.

Very calm and quiet, Park with Majestic trees in the middle of the busy Central London. Adjacent to Bramber green park and near major stations and Hospitals and Brunswick park in walking distance.Gteat place to grab a bite during breaks and re set for the rest of the day.

Beautiful space to escape the main roads, sit,relax and picnic.
