Paddington Street Gardens

London might be one of the greenest capital cities in the world, but the city centre can still feel like a concrete jungle at times. Totalling around 2.5 acres, these two small public gardens on the site of a former burial ground for St Marylebone Parish Church are a tranquil little spot away from the hustle and bustle of the High Street. A few tombstones can still be seen around the edges of the gardens, while the South Garden features a Grade II-listed mausoleum alongside landscaped rosebeds, a bandstand and a children’s play area.
