Ornamental garden
A peaceful pocket oasis in the heart of historic Clerkenwell. Originally part of the medieval precincts of St John's Priory, before becoming an eighteenth-century burial ground, Victorian ornamental garden and now a designated Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. Located in Clerkenwell's Cultural Quarter, the garden is bordered by a wide range of historic buildings reflecting the ever-evolving character of the neighbourhood. Artist-designed benches and thought-provoking murals inspire both creativity and reflection.
