★★★★★3 months agoI passed by this garden, and while it’s small, it’s incredibly charming. It’s filled with beautiful, colorful flowers that make the place feel so serene. There isn't much to 'do,' but it's the perfect, quiet spot to just sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery.

★★★★★5 months agoSo amazing park. Plenty of benches. Near the tube station. Neat and tidy. What else can I say… oh have you experienced that amazing jasmine looking tree ( don’t know 😅) but it smells amazing from miles away.
