    Wow!! This place used to be a shell of a garden but it has been radically transformed in to a lush, verdant peaceful place to relax and take a break when wondering around Oxford street/Tottenham court road. Well done to all involved as it is truly great. There’s a little pond with fish, a community centre and many small benches and stones for sitting. Take some seeds and feed some of the local birds while relaxing. Worth a visit! Doing well to keep covid safe as well.

    Wer hat nicht schon von diesem kleinen Idyll gehört. Ein wunderschöner kleiner Park , sehr naturbelassen. Viele Wildblumen wachsen hier , Baumstämme dienen neben Holzbänken als Sitzplätze. Und an der Rückseite an einer Mauer ein Riesen Kunstwerk von Stik welches nicht erst durch den weihnachtsfilm „Last christmas“ berühmt wurde. Hier treffen sich Menschen in ihrer Mittagspause andere sitzen lesend zwischen den Pflanzen.

    sanctuary in the centre of Covent Garden theatre district... plenty of benches for a quiet lunch break... pleasant garden, with fragrant blossom scents... the pathways are a little scrappy, but it's not funded and relies on donations and volunteers so that's all good.. cool Stik mural too 😎

    A cosy little garden in the centre of London next to St Giles and close to Tottenham Court Road. The stated aim is to provide a community garden to using sustainable methods and to encourage wildlife diversity. The place just looks a little over-grown when I was there. There's a sad little pond with maybe a couple of fishes, but nothing great to look at. More for locals than anything else and certainly wouldn't go out of the way to see it.

    A lovely small wildlife garden, hidden away from the main tourist area yet only a short walk from it. An oasis of calm where all flora and fauna are accepted. Even in November there is something to see.

    Community garden run open to visitors. It feels like an oasis just few minutes away from the busy Cambridge Circus.

    An amazing oasis in the middle of London. It's kind of a secret garden. Be careful who you send here or you could break the spell!

    Lovely little quiet, winding garden, tucked away, just off Cambridge Circus and Shaftesbury Avenue, and quite near Covent Garden. Run by local community, it had to be closed briefly last year, due to antisocial behaviour..needless to say there will always be those that want to spoil it for the rest of us. Good to see it reopened now. Great place for a quiet lunch hour break.

    It's really a small park in central London, as soon as you enter you forget you're in a huge city. Small but well-kept park.

    A delightful garden oasis in the middle of the west end. It is currently undergoing a refurbishment, which I can't wait to see when it is completed. It is not meant to be a perfectly manicured garden, but one that is more natural. It is lovingly looked after by passionate volunteers!

    Lovely natural oasis. Have to move flora in parts! Peaceful & pretty.

    A most magical secret place. A serene oasis in the centre of the city. A treasure.

    Beautiful community garden for a quick stop. Be a friend to the garden and take home or bin and rubbish you have. There are quite a few benches dotted throughout to provide a nice calming location to read or chat.

    One of my favourite places in Central London. Spot the cameos this garden has made in famous films I.e. Last Christmas

    Escape the chaos nearby for a pitstop at this small but quiet public garden. Benches scattered around to sit, breathe and enjoy a break ☺️

  • 4/5 Wain L. 2 years ago on Google
    It's the garden from 'Last Christmas'!!!! It has all the charm and quirks of a small community garden, bit overgrown and benches could do with some love, but it is rather charming and hidden away. Easily missed, but 2 minutes from covent garden or Chinatown. Very mixed group when I visited at lunch. Mainly locals, small group of lads smoking weed and 1 or 2 tourist.

    Fabulous quiet respite garden in Soho in London. Creative garden art. Gate is around the corner - open dawn to dusk.

  • 5/5 Naomi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Divine oasis away from the rat race. Perfect spot to meet friends, eat your lunch or simply meditate. A must visit for Londoners & visitors alike.

    I had my wedding here and it was so magical and amazing. The venue manager worked tirelessly to ensure the day went smoothly. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. There is such a lovely community spirit here

    I'm almost afraid to review this little gem in case people find out about it. Such a peaceful little garden. On a warm sunny day it is to be found full of local office goers with their lunches. On a wet day it is a perfect place to go for some beautiful isolation time surrounded by nature. Hard to believe it is in the very centre of London.

    Beautiful 'secret garden' bang in the heart of the West End. It was an open day when we visited so I don't know how often it is open normally.

  • 4/5 farooque l. 2 years ago on Google
    A moment of peace and tranquility in an otherwise bustling and busy party of London. I've been coming here for decades just to take some time out and catch my breath and enjoy the peace.

  • 5/5 Fi M. 3 years ago on Google
    beautiful garden with plenty of benches to sit at and chill out, absolutely love it here - it's definitely in my top 10 places in London to visit!!!

    Amazing place to hang out and chill with a coffee. It’s like you aren’t in London
