The Garden

This three-acre hidden oasis in the heart of the City is located within the historic Inner Temple precincts, and was named Best Large Garden by Flowers in the City in 2021. Cultivated since 1195, deep herbaceous borders envelop the garden with a vibrant display of foxgloves, alliums, and sweet rocket during June. Meadows across the garden are thriving with wildflowers, bulbs and wildlife, making you forget you're in the City. Specimen trees, some approaching 300 years old, are at home here with sprawling habits. The timber greenhouse houses a succulent and cacti collection. A regal broad walk lined with London Planes offers unrivalled views of the Thames.

Head Gardener: Sean Harkin
