TOUR GUIDE: SARAH WILLIAMS-ROBBINS

We tend to associate the Square Mile with finance rather than nature. But amid its ancient streets and modern office blocks there are secret oases, providing welcome havens for residents, visitors, workers – and wildlife.

Join me on a gentle tour to explore some of the City of London’s hidden green gems and to find out a little about their history.

We will venture into a vineyard with Roman roots, locate Leopard’s heads in a surprising sunken garden and discover pineapples in the ruins of a Wren church.

TOUR GUIDE: PETER BROWN

In this gentle stroll through the back streets of Lambeth we will be discovering a selection of the many public green spaces the borough has to offer. They range from former ecclesiastical gardens and the capital’s first commercial pleasure gardens all the way up to modern day pocket parks.

TOUR GUIDE: DAVE MORGAN

Southwark today belies its colourful and influential past. Our main aim is to explore the very varied green spaces of today, retrace their sometimes unusual pasts, and weave in Dickens, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats along the way.
The hop trade, stemming from the Garden of England (Kent) also helped to shape Southwark, and we’ll trace its eventual decline and the recent rebirth of small scale brewing nearby.

ABOUT THE GARDENS:

The Aga Khan Centre in King's Cross has six Islamic Gardens showcasing the diversity of Muslim cultures while celebrating classic Islamic garden design. They form part of a conceptual ribbon pathway of Islamic-inspired gardens in this area. There are two more at Victoria Hall (not included in the tour) and two in the public realm; Lewis Cubitt Square and Jellicoe Gardens. The AKC gardens range from contemplative courtyards inspired by Andalusia and loggias inspired by the Middle East, to rooftop spaces inspired by South and Central Asia. The centre is home to the Aga Khan Foundation UK, Aga Khan University - Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations, and The Institute of Ismaili Studies - all founded by His Highness the Aga Khan.

E-Ticket

MEETING POINT: 11A New Square Lincoln’s Inn WC2A 3QB // WALK ENDS: Chancery Lane Gateway // GUIDE; Carla Zoso

WC2A 3PT From its distant beginning, Lincoln’s Inn has undergone building, demolition, refurbishment and renewal: the New Square, the Old Hall, the Great Hall., the Stone Building.

Eminent people stayed, studied and preached in the Inn: Sir Thomas Moore, Oliver and Richard Cromwell, 16 Prime Ministers, John Donne, Ben Johnson.

A little about students’ life, past and present, and the path to becoming a Barrister.

There are old and new garden areas too: the newly restored Benchers’ Border, the Old Kitchen Garden, the Coneygarth.

There is much to say about the presence, or not, of women in the Inn. Once banned to safeguard the morals of members, but also a place where desperate mothers could leave the children they could not keep.

Event Details

Feed your curiosity and explore London's private, secret and little-known gardens across the city over one very special weekend. 

Gardens range from the historic and  traditional to the new and experimental, and include private gardens, roof gardens, community allotments, gardens belonging to historic buildings, institutions, cafes, schools and shops. 

A weekend ticket gives access to gardens (excluding balloted-entry gardens and gardens that require pre booking nearer the time) on both Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June 2024. There is an option when booking tickets for you to add personal insurance, covering the cost of your ticket (less booking fee) should the event be cancelled. Garden opening times and days may vary please check our website for details. Whilst we hope to open all of the gardens, some may not be able to open at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.

There will be a FREE Printed Guide in the form of an A2 fold out map showing the location of the gardens. It will not be posted, rather it will be collectable at gardens.

For more information on how to plan your weekend in advance please visit our website HERE.

FREE Child Tickets (11 years and under) and Companion Tickets for those requiring carers are available. These tickets must be booked online, in advance and are only valid for entry with an accompanying adult ticket holder. Child Tickets will appear on the Add-Ons page after selecting an Adult weekend tickets above. You must be 18 or over to accompany a child. For Companion Tickets, please email office@londongardenstrust.org with your booking reference explaining your circumstances and we will arrange ticket dispatch.

Provided there is a surplus, up to 5% of net ticket sales is returned to some of the community and volunteer run gardens that participate in the event.

Please be aware there will be photography at this event. If you do not wish to be photographed in one of the gardens you are visiting please make the photographer aware.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, London Parks and Gardens generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through London Parks and Gardens, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
