Discover the delightful, gardens of the City, created from bomb sites of the Second World War. This walk spans the length of the City, revealing the history of past industrial buildings where stood former Sir Christopher Wren churches, livery halls, Roman ruins and the site of a Roman bath house. It starts at London Wall place by the Salters Company in Fore Sreet and ends at the beautiful garden of St Dunstan in the East which was destroyed on the night of 10/11 May 1941.

This two hour walk travels through the City of London taking in the hidden gardens that were created on the bomb sites of the 1940 Blitz. It was led by Marilyn Greene who not only knew the individual human stories of each garden, but was also a mine of information on everything else we past along the way. Very happy to answer questions and able to provide the link between the past buildings and the modern 21st century buildings that were towering in front of us. Many of these gardens really were hidden and were a delight to discover at the bottom of a short lane or just round a corner. And without Marilyn, we would never have known they were there – we just have to hope we can find them again! A well planned walk which meant we ended at St Dunstan’s, not only the most exotic one, but also close to a great Indian restaurant.
