We just happened to come across this beautiful garden, on our way from the Lord's cricket ground to the Regent's park... we were awestruck to see such a pretty garden right in the heart of London. Beautifully laid, with blooming flowers all around, it was such a pleasant site. Loved it ...

I’m regularly in the area having recently purchased an apartment just a stones throw away from the gardens. I often come here during the early hours of the morning after completing my run to meditate for a short period and it’s usually pretty much empty then. The gardens appear small at first glance but as you walk through, you soon realise it’s much bigger with more seating space further down. There’s something I cannot explain about the energy of this place-there’s this sense of serenity I feel here like nowhere else.

Small, but beautiful park, close to Lords cricket ground, there are play areas for children, a giant chess set, table tennis etc, and two small graveyards. A super place to relax, especially today, as the sun was shining.

A well kept public gardens opposite lords cricket ground.Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leads. The ground-men / gardeners work extremely hard to keep this a peaceful and well maintained public space. There is a small children’s playground that keep the grandchildren occupied and during the summer deckchairs are available on the main green. The flowerbed are stunning and bursting with colour during the summer months. The gardens are so peaceful and just a short stroll to St Johns Woods High Street.
