Lovely little garden very near London Bridge Station. It was bigger than I though which was nice as the play area for kids was pretty noisy but keep walking till you get to the roses and it's lovely and quiet to sit and eat your lunch. The smell of all the roses was a great bonus so I think I picked just the right time to visit.
