A Grade I listed church garden in the City of London, originally built around 1100 and partially destroyed in the 1941 Blitz, now a peaceful green sanctuary among office buildings. Visit to wander gothic ruins draped in vines, sit quietly, read, or photograph the atmospheric stonework and lush greenery. Note: it's a working garden space, so opening hours may vary and it can get busy with tourists during peak times.
