Phoenix Garden

If you can manage to locate one of the grubby alleyways leading to the West End's Phoenix Garden, it's a lovely little green spot for high-rolling city types based in the Charing Cross Road area to have a quiet breather away from the pencil-pushing mayhem of office life. The plants, flowers and wildlife in the garden are all maintained by volunteers, and you can even check on a regularly updated blog (http://phoenixgarden.blogspot.com/) to see what plant species are currently blooming. {I}David Jenkins{/I}
