Discover a unique selection of secluded gardens in Spitalfields, just a stone’s throw from the buzz of Spitalfields Market. The feel of a country garden behind the Church offering fabulous teas and music, a small courtyard garden behind one of the fine French Huguenot houses of the C17, a small paved garden unconstrained by its high boundary walls and another undaunted by the shade of the surrounding tall buildings. Each garden has adapted to its particular urban space with vertical and horizontal beds, inspired planting, pots, statuary and architectural artefacts.
