Our exploration doesn't stop at ground level. Ascend to the rooftop haven of The Garden at 120 (weather permitting) for breathtaking panoramic views, or seek solace in the captivating ruins of St Dunstan's in the East, a bombed-out church transformed into a peaceful sanctuary. Along the way, marvel at the architectural grandeur of historic Livery Halls and witness the unique tradition of the Swan Upper, the official protector of the River Thames swans!

The journey continues with themed gardens dedicated to legendary figures like Dick Whittington at Whittington Gardens, and charming terraced havens like Cleary Gardens/Huggin Hill, concealing Roman secrets. We'll pay homage to "Flowering Fred," the city planner who championed London's green spaces, and discover modern marvels like the Reflection Garden, offering a picture-perfect moment with the mirrored dome of St Paul's Cathedral.

memorial sculpture, garden and church.

History buffs will be enthralled by the landscaped remains of Christchurch Greyfriars, the city's once-grand church. Finally, find peace and reflection at Postman's Park, a haven for office workers and home to a poignant memorial to everyday heroes.

We then visit Cross Bones Graveyard and Red Cross Gardens in Red cross Way, Southwark, which are both really interesting places. Cross Bones is the resting place of 17th century prostitutes or “outcasts” but now is a place of reflection and peace. The Red Cross Gardens and associated cottages was implemented by Octavia Hill the founder of the National Trust.
