Nice public gardens open for everyone. It is very well maintained.

I love this little garden. It's very hidden from the road behind the fence and trees and bushes. Besides nice statues, flower beds and benches it's right next to the Ministry of Defense main building which is architecturally stunning. This garden is great for having a little relaxing sit down with a snack.

Weary tourists will find this a peaceful sanctuary to rest and contemplate nature after a long day of touring the City.

Whitehall Gardens is located at the sweet spot between Victoria Embankment and the Whitehall Building. There are benches in shade and the colourful garden are a pretty sight.

This place is a sanctuary. The trees and flowers remind me of a tropical paradise. Beautifully kept gardens, an array of interesting plants and grasses. A lot of thought had gone into the planning and preparation of the gardens.

This is just one small square garden. People stop by here to rest or have their togo lunch eat here. There were benches around it. Beautiful and clean.
