Festival Gardens and the Queens Diamond Jubilee Garden

The City of London's contribution to the Festival of Britain in 1951 on the site of Old Change. Designed by Sir Albert Richardson to mark the 100th anniversary of the Great Exhibition. 

The gardens have centre piece fountain set amidst a sloping lawn. 

The garden was remodelled and extended in 2012 to incorporate the new Queens Jubilee Garden which stands on the former coach car park for St Paul's. There is a statue to John Dunne, the poet who was once the Dean of St. Paul's 

A line of pleached lime trees provide a barrier to the road and offer some seclusion to the gardens.
