Time takes its shoes off here.
Suddenly – miraculously – you’re in another London. A quieter, greener, older London.
The City of London, that great throbbing engine of commerce and ambition, hides its heart in these secret gardens.
They’re not just green spaces – they’re memory spaces.
Magic spaces.
Magic spaces cloaked in green, dappled in sunshine.
A sanctuary for the soul.
And like all true treasures, they don’t reveal themselves to everyone.
Only to those with the right kind of eyes – and the right kind of footsteps.
You don’t find these gardens on a map – you find them by mood, by scent, by accident or by ancient invitation.
Anything else? Yes, new walk. Non pareil guide. Sam. See his reviews.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE GUIDING
Nesha –
The tour guide pitched both the pace and his commentary just right and the size of the group was also perfect. The evening was relaxed and informative: We learned loads of new stuff about London and its secret gardens. Sam is knowledgeable, engaging, and the informative. We loved seeing gardens we never knew existed.
