Hidden Gardens of
the City
From the oldest City park dating back to 1606, to
the newer gardens created after the bomb damage
of the second world war, the City contains an array
of about 200 green spaces, including many little
oases of serenity, and some beautiful water
features.
From hidden courtyards to rooftop gardens and
amazing hidden walkways, this walk is a
revelation. It will introduce you to some restricted
access routes through the City, as well as many
delightful small gardens, unknown to the majority
of the City workers.
Now running every Wednesday throughout
2009, this walk starts at 1.30pm at Moorgate
tube station.
No need to book ahead, just meet outside
Moorgate station between 'Boots the
Chemists' and 'Refuel Juice Bar'.
The walk will finish at 3.45pm at the Bank tube
station, which is convenient for Northern, Central,
and DLR railways.
The walk costs £5 per person, with proceeds going
to 'Oxfam' and 'Cancer Research UK'.
