Went to the thai food festival. But arrived so late the place was closing up. Not over impressed with the park but I did get a decent photo of tower bridge and tower of London on this sunny day
grass condition has been horrible in the past year. it wasn’t like this 3 years back! Renewal takes weeks to complete and new grass gets destroyed in a few days. I am surprised the neighbouring vendors are not complaining with this grass condition plus the never ending constructions closeby!
Fantastic views of the Thames and London’s skyline. A great place for a walk, especially around sunset when the city lights start to come on. Definitely worth a visit
Great place with great views. We visited yesterday and there was a pop up Pimm’s stall which sold the best Pimm’s cocktail I have had in a while. Well worth a visit
Potters Fields Park is a peaceful riverside gem with unbeatable views of Tower Bridge and the Thames. It’s perfect for a quiet break, a scenic stroll, or a picnic with a view. Nestled between Tower Bridge and City Hall, Potters Fields Park offers a rare slice of tranquillity in central London. It’s not a huge park, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in atmosphere. The open lawns and winding paths are ideal for relaxing, and the views of Tower Bridge are postcard-perfect — especially at sunset. What makes this park special is its slightly wild, natural feel. The gardens are designed to be wildlife-friendly, with native plants and seasonal flowers that attract birds and pollinators. There’s a grove of white birch trees and meadows inspired by Dutch designer Piet Oudolf, giving the space a soft, organic vibe that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding architecture. That said, some areas do look a bit unkempt — patches of overgrown grass, tired flower beds, and worn paths that could use a refresh. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but a little more upkeep would go a long way in making the park feel truly cared for. It’s open 24/7, so whether you’re out for a morning jog, a midday breather, or an evening wander, it’s always accessible. The park is also used for occasional events, but most of the time it’s quiet and uncrowded — a great spot to sit with a coffee and watch the boats drift by. Highlights: • Unmatched views of Tower Bridge and the Thames • Wildlife-friendly gardens and seasonal planting • Peaceful atmosphere despite its central location • Close to Borough Market, the Shard, and other attractions If you’re exploring the South Bank or just need a break from the city buzz, Potters Fields Park is a lovely place to pause and take it all in — even if it’s a little rough around the edges.
