The City of London is known for its skyscrapers, financial institutions, Wren churches and medieval alleyways but there are also dozens of green spaces in the Square Mile.
These include formal parks, atmospheric graveyards, roof gardens, vertical gardens and cleverly designed spaces providing respite from the bustle of the City. While some of these gardens have a backdrop of glitzy glass offices, several also sit adjacent to ancient churches. We will see a selection of these in this summer walk.
The route is about 4km long and mostly level.
