25 Cannon Street (also known as Fidelity Gardens)


An award winning contemporary garden designed by Elizabeth Banks in 2000. It is square with an oval, slightly convex lawn and was built over a car park. It contains 6000 plants in only one metre of soil. Set amidst the backdrop of St Paul's, it gives an impression of an open space in the city.


In the covered tree and shrub section there are 'tombstones' which cleverly hide the car park ventilation shafts.
