Visitor Information

If you're visiting St Paul's Cathedral or crossing Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern then you might want to take a break in these recently redesigned gardens. The eye-catching City Information Centre now sits amidst an abundance of bold planting in a garden which has plenty of benches from which to admire the cathedral. Creating the new gardens was one of the largest projects the City Gardens team has tackled – they brought in almost 2,400 buxus plants, nine trees, 5,895 herbaceous plants along with 625sqm of turf and 220 tonnes of new soil. The planting is made up of lavender – an attractive food source for bees and butterflies – gaura lindheimeri, the tall white plants, box hedging and soft ferns.
