St. George's Gardens
Well established small historical (ie 1713) park/gardens that are lovely to wander through or peaceful for a quiet chill on one of their benches. They are not very obvious as they are amongst buildings that don’t normally get the tourist footfall. Beautifully green in summer when we visited.Originally this space was a burial ground for two nearby churches. It was turned into a garden in 1884 and then restored around the millenium, re-opening in Spring 2001.Worth wandering through if you are nearby, and especially nice when you know the history of it.

The Gardens cover the area once occupied by churchyards, and numerous gravestones can still be seen. There are informative explanations of some of these on the boards at the entrances. A pleasant walk can be had though the gardens from the western entrance in Handel Street to the eastern entrance in Heathcote Street.

Previously a burial ground, this peaceful garden is now a place to sit down or stroll through. There are plenty of seating areas with many people chatting with friends and I saw several dog walkers and owners playing fetch with balls. It is clear that people are enjoying the space and it isn't over crowded. It was a pleasant walk through.

The park is lovely but sometimes the visitors spoil it. There was a family with an open fire BBQ in a park that has trees that are hundreds years old. At some time in the early evening there are addicts waiting for their dealer. But lovely seeing the dogs running and the owners collecting, the gardener makes good efforts to keep it beautiful.

A small hidden park, nice to walk through and relax. It has pretty seating area because it's hidden it's not really full of people. So it's good if your in search of a chill park.

Peaceful and well looked after, this interesting garden is one of London's first graveyards without a church. An oasis of calm in the centre of London.

Formerly a burials for 2 churches in Bloomsbury. By 1800s, the grounds had fallen into a bad state and by 1855, had become so overcrowded that it had to be closed. In the decades that followed, the grounds re-opened as a public space and sitting markets. To this day, the graves remain, but there are now paved walkways around the grounds as well as sitting areas for quiet contemplation amongst the graves.There's really isn't much to see in the grounds and the grass isn't that well maintained with lots of muddy and bare patches of grass.
