Hidden Gardens of
the City

From the oldest Guild hall garden to new gardens
created after the second world war, the City
contains almost 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
2012, 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 Noble Street gardens, the
Guildhall and London's Roman amphitheatre, 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, and the little garden of St.
Bartholomew, famous as a location in many films
(Four Weddings and a Funeral; Shakespeare in
Love, etc).
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
