Saint Mary Aldermanbury Garden

Small well-tended garden with an impressive array of shrubs, hedges, a patch of lawn and a shady canopy of varied trees.
A congregation of benches cheek to jowl here with Shakespeare, I suspect, eavesdropping on your chit chat.
Situated immediately behind City of London Police building.

St Mary Aldermanbury Garden is a former Church of England church and largely destroyed in the Second World War, leaving only the walls standing. The walls were transported to the US and rebuilt as a memorial to Churchill. The ruins are now a public garden and all the remains of the church is the footprint above ground. Would be a nice little sitting garden in Central London if it wasn't so far from the main attractions. Plenty of benches if you really wanted to come take a seat here.

A quiet peaceful oasis to take a moment from hectic day to day life. Even at lunchtime there are normally free benches (after the pandemic at least)

Nice.

Not much left as the church was first destroyed in the Great Fire. Rebuilt by Christopher Wren it was then destroyed in the Blitz. Apparently the surviving standing walls were sent to US (Fulton in Missouri) where it was rebuilt as a memorial to Churchill. In the gardens there is a bust of Shakespeare, a memorial to two of his friends and partners in the Globe theatre who were buried in this churchyard.

Benches everywhere to sit down and the old brick works there from the war is a wonder to look at. To all my smokers out here this is the spot the building is call one love lane (Bob Marley shout out) it is a commemoration park to William Shakespeare and I'm shore he smoked and there's a police station there also so it feels like this is a spot to be free and have a smoke while sticking it to the man as they say love lil park in the middle of a busy city

A park overlooked by most visitors to the guildhall, at the top of the street just past the clock museum is Shakespeare park, you won't find it on a Web search but it is here all the same,the inscriptions below the bust of Shakespeare are references to his two friends who gathered together his works after his death to preserve them,.when you leave walk past the police stables and view the church steeple in the middle of the road, through the tunnel opposite is the ruins of the church, the two were built separately because there was not enough space to build as one, continue on and there is part of the London wall, at the top at London wall road is a small ruin of a park with a plaque mentioning that nearby is where Shakespeare lived in lodgings, to your left you will see the museum of London, worth a visit especially if you have children.

Nice clean oasis in the city, with shades and sunny spots. 4 stars only because of the mosquitoes.
