Open Garden Squares 2013

London Open Garden Squares 2013
We took ourselves into London to wander round a few of the Open Garden Squares early June 2013. It was a chilly day but we had a really good time. First stop was Westminster Abbey. We went through Dean's Yard and visited St. Catherine's Garden (right) and College Garden (below).

The Crucifixion



		We had coffee / tea and cake in the College Gardens - I can think of a lot worse places to be.




From there we headed West towards Knightbridge. Our original plan was to go on a bus but there was a demonstration in Parliament Square so no buses so we used the tube after all. Our next stop was Cadogan Place Gardens - one of my favourite gardens in London.

The Mulberry Trees on the right are thought to be c.300 years old.





A short walk and we were in MaRoCoco Chocolate Factory Garden. This was a tiny garden and a really tiny chocolate factory (J said the chocolate was delicious).



		Just around the corner (or two) we went to Wilton Crescent Garden. There were some lovely old plane trees and some lovely tree sculptures.
What a perfect flower!
Belgrave Square was our next stop

Our final stop was in Eaton Square. We ran out of time but I think our legs were glad because they'd run out of energy!

		There were some lovely sculptures in this garden - a lot of them based on spheres of one kind or another. This one (and top left) was one of our favourites.



We got a quick bite to eat at Prezzo, Victoria Station then wended our weary way home!
