    Former cemetery repurposed as a garden features a playground, shelters, formal bedding, lawn, mature trees and some historical fabric. Expert maintenance evident together with commendable gardening skills and resonates with a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately now overwhelmed by the oppressive shadow of a recently completed high-rise building, intimidating the surrounding skyline profile, stealing much of the Park’s thunder, oxygen and metre.

    Pretty standard little green space thats good when the weather is. Loads of benches but loads of city folk having lunch too so it can get busy.

    Located close to Baker Street in Marylebone is this little public gardens. The garden is actually split in two parts. The northern part is much smaller and not quite as nice. In fact, there are drug dealers operating openly. One even offered me his business card and asked me to call him for a "menu". The souther part is much nice. A pleasant little park with plenty of benches, paved walkways, a playground for young children and the grass is full and well maintained. It'a cute little park in the centre of London and good for a rest after spending a day walking round the area.

    Came here for a break just before lunch and it's a small little peaceful park. Great for having a snack or a leisurely short stroll.

    Our favourite local park and playground. My children absolutely love it and made so manny memories and build lovely friendships here. The caretakers are nice and whenever I've ever needed information or help they always been helpful. Do check it out for yourself and even sitting on the park benches reading a book or enjoying the 🌞 its worth it

    A well placed park in London. Located in a calm neighborhood. Perfect for relaxing and having a break.

    Fav park in London in summer. Usually a great place to sit on a chair or lie on the grass amongst the roses and watch people go by without really having any city noise around you. Great kids playground too.

  • 4/5 Prashant G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited it while i was waiting for my entry to the Sherlock Holmes museum. It's beautiful and nice. Play are fir small kids as well as table tennis for grown ups. There is an untitled statue in the center which I doubt is of Armillary dial which I saw later in the Royal observatory, Greenwich. Please confirm the same if anyone visits both the sites after reading this.

    I was visiting from the US. This is a lovely, quiet little park with two large, enclosed gazebos. We went to eat lunch here, but were met by all the teens from the local school out for their lunch. I also found it hilarious all the people smoking directly under the "no smoking" signs.

    Beautiful little garden with something for everyone! There is a little playground for kids, small field for a game of Frisbee or fetch with your dogs, nice benches for lunch and relaxing. There is also a small corner for table tennis enthusiasts! We love it so much!

    Always a calm oasis in the bustle of Marylebone. Been taking a coffee and sandwich there since 1987, off and on.

    Lunch time experience usually ruined by builders and French students smoking very strong cigarettes. Wish park's would have designated smoking areas

    Rather unknown garden that is well planted and maintained offering a calm respite from the busy streets of Marylebone.

  • 4/5 Matt C. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a lovely park just off Marylebone High st. Well maintained flowers and trees. There is plenty of grass and beaches to relax. Its not a whuge Park but certainly a hidden gem.It has free toilets that are functional but well used. Good for kids to have a run around but no play equipment.

  • 5/5 Emmanouela K. 2 years ago on Google
    If you work or live near is the best place for break and the toilets next to gardens are refixed recently
