Goldsmiths' Garden

On the site of the medieval church of St John Zachery and opposite Goldsmiths Hall. The garden is on two levels, the former churchyard on higher ground:


and a sunken level reached by steps which is the excavated site of the church. In 1950 it won the Best Garden on a Blitzed Site. Redesigned by Peter Shepherd in 1962, the lower garden features a water fountain.


There is seating around the garden and a sculpture entitled 'Three Printers' representing the newspaper process, with a newsboy, a printer and an editor.



Nesting boxes for blue tits have been cleverly incorporated into the brick walls.


The garden is now part of Lloyds HQ, and they have developed the garden theme by installing flower boxes on the outside of the entrance facade, which continue the garden onto the building.
