Hidden Gardens of

From the oldest public open space dating from
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 and sunken gardens to
rooftop gardens connected by amazing aerial
walkways, and the secret 'wormhole' route across
the City, 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
2008, 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 Barbican
water gardens (convenient for Barbican or
Moorgate tube stations: guidance will be given).
The walk costs £5 per person, with proceeds going
to 'Oxfam' and 'Cancer Research UK'.
