    Sunken and terraced formal garden laid out in 1964 on Luftwaffe bombed site and named after Thomas More’s son-in-law. The layout so redolent of the Sixties, all now faded and past its prime with a posing bronze nude (in her prime) and an Ur-moment unfinished Jacob Epstein panel adding some relief and counterpoise to an area that has a distinctive melancholic air. A surplus of bleached benches here and a posh dedicated 🐕 toilet. Surely nothing to sniff at.

    Unfortunately it is used as a dog toilet which is a shame, you have to ne careful where you stand when on tje grass. Could be great but it isnt.

    Lovely garden just off Chelsea Embankment and right next to Chelsea Old Church. Two lovely features in there. The "Awakening" by Gilbert Ledward who also designed the magnificent fountain in the middle of Sloane Square. Also an un-finished stone carving by my all time favourite Sir Jacob Epstein, say no more the man was a total genius, one of the great sculptors of the 20th Century

    Interesting place with seats and a local map of the area on the back wall that was developed from a bomb crater. It needs a little TLC.
