This courtyard garden was created from the prisoners’ exercise yard of Old Kennington Courthouse, which was built in 1869. Volunteers designed and now maintain the garden, with planting consisting entirely of raised beds and pots with a mixture of shrubs, climbers, perennials, herbs, fruits, vegetables and flowers. The garden was inaugurated by HH Dalai Lama in 1999, and won the Conservation Foundation's award for the best Sacred Space in 2010. A large Buddha statue and fountain made from a Victorian cast-iron safe provide a delightful setting for Jamyang's vegetarian café.
Cobblestone Victorian mews, once light industrial units, now studios for various artists and craftspeople. Extensively planted with pots, baskets, vines and planters.
