This quiet, hidden gem of a garden is a real treasure in a very historic part of the City of London, and can be found on the north side of the Temple complex, a short distance from Fleet Street. The L-shaped garden has been planted with a mix of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees. It runs between Temple Church and the Master's House, which is the residence of the Master of the Temple at the Temple Church. The main garden is on an elevated plateau above 17th-century catacombs, built to create more burial space when the Temple Church crypts were full.
One of London's oldest gardens famed for its experimental borders, biodiversity friendly meadows, lawns, fine trees, and views out to the River Thames.
