    A lovely, and quiet little park in the heart of London. Have 2 levels. Floor level, and a -1 level. The level -1 is not accessible for disabled people, but they still can wonder around 😉 benches, flowers, bushes, chill. Everything you need for some relax or a coffee break

    Fantastic spot in the City to get away from the crowds, noise and main roads. Although not completely silent, it is as close to a tranquil outdoor space for the location. Beautifully kept garden. Spent many lunch breaks in here, getting away from it all for an hour.

    Lovely place to sit and have lunch. Unfortunately, there are no bins around the gardens to put your rubbish in.

    A pleasantly landscaped garden on several levels adjoining Queen Victoria Street, with an interesting variety of plants and a busy bird feeder.

    A lovely little hidden gem? There were se really interesting and colourful plants in here. Some of the biggest tree Peonies I've seen. The lower section unfortunately has a but of rubbish in which was a shame.

    I loved having lunch here, and did so for more than a year with no problem. My last 4 visits in the past 3 weeks, I have encountered multiple rats, who daringly come within meters of you. Not likely to be visiting again

    This lovely little park is a great place to sit outside and have a picnic lunch or if you work in the city. There's three levels, featuring peonies, old twisted trees, plenty of benches, and some trellises which offer a sense of privacy even when sharing the park with others. The park is also of historic interest: There are some neat plaques about the Roman Baths which used to located on the site, as well as information about rare birds which breed there. Note: there is currently construction going on nextdoor to the park which does, to a certain extent, disrupt the area's natural peace.

    Cool micro spot to chill out in green surrounding. There is more or less 10 benches to sit and have a breakfast/lunch in a bit calmer place that the Street. The lower level of the garden has a lawn spot but there is quite cool it is almost whole covered in shadow.
