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
2010, this walk starts at 1.30pm on the steps
of the Royal Exchange by Exit 3 of Bank tube
station.
The walk will finish at 3.45pm at the Bank tube
station, which is convenient for Northern, Central,
and DLR railways.
The walks cost £5 per person, with proceeds going
to 'Oxfam' and 'Cancer Research UK'.
A New 'Hidden Gardens of the City' morning walk
is now running at 11.30am every Wednesday.
This new walk explores the gardens and history of
the western edge of the financial city, and includes
visits to the Barbican water gardens, the remains
of the Roman fort in the Salter's Hall gardens, the
grounds of the old Carthusian monastery of the
London Charterhouse, and the site of the famous
St. Bartholomew's Cloth Fair, including a look at
the oldest residential property in the City of
London. In addition, we visit the much-loved
'Postman's Park' by the church of St. Botolph
Aldersgate.
Like the afternoon walk, the meeting point is on
the steps of the Royal Exchange by Exit 3 of Bank
tube station at 11.30am
