We visited this beautiful oasis on a recent trip to London and it’s tucked away from the beaten path and only a short walk from Tower Bridge & Monument. The ruins are quite amazing to see especially as it’s nestled amongst a huge capital city. A big downside was that it was unbelievably busy, I was actually quite surprised. There’s a lot of people who are trying to snap Instagram worthy pictures and people with professional cameras and outfit changes. It was tad off putting when you just want to visit the stunning site. Overall, a spectacular site to see when in London but prepared to be surrounded my people and wannabe models.

Beautiful little spot, we sat and had our lunch here and walked around the whole grounds. Though small, the building is fascinating and very well looked after! Beautiful trees and flowers inside and out, and is amazing in summer. Would definitely recommend paying a visit to this hidden gem.

Absolutely breathtaking. It just fills me with wonder that just around the corner in a major metropolitan city, has a hidden gem of this garden built out of a church ruin. People where there reading, sketching and eating lunch. It was a very peaceful place to visit.

Step inside a sanctuary in the middle of London! If you love architecture, history and the intrigue of abbeys still standing but as ruins then St Dunstan’s is for you! Located between London Bridge and the Tower of London, Christopher Wren (of St Paul fame) was one of the architects. The church has stood on this ground since 1100, it was severely damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Although the church was rebuilt and repaired throughout the years, it was severely damaged again during the Blitz in 1941. It was never rebuilt after World War II and was turned into a garden in 1971. What remains is peaceful, tranquil and a testament to time. Gorgeous architecture remains as a backdrop to the foliage, flowers and trees.

If you're looking for hidden gems in London, then this is a must visit. This historic church gives you the chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of London and into a quiet, tranquil atmosphere. One where history stands still. Definitely worth the visit!

This was a beautiful place to sit and eat on a bench. There isn't much to "see" if you were to travel here specially, but it is near the Tower of London and is a nice, relaxing place to sit and have some downtime. There was one photoshoot going on while we were there, but it didn't intrude on our time there in any way. The scenery is just lovely, and it is calm there too. Recommended if you are nearby anyway, and want somewhere to sit for a little break.

Just a short walk from ‘The Monument’ and around the corner from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, this is a lovely oasis of calm in a busy city.. apart from the tour groups and noise from nearby construction work. Great place to sit and have a rest, eat your lunch etc. not a must do, but if you’re in the area it’s worth a visit.

Good place to take photos and to get a sense of history. Not very large area at all. You will likely see influencers and/or amateur models have the pictures taken there, which can be a little annoying because they may occupy one prime photo spot for 30 minutes or longer.

I can't rate this highly enough. It's just breathtaking - these photos were from my phone rather than my good camera, so they aren't as high quality, but they're still gorgeous. This former church stood for a very long time, until the Great Fire of London destroyed it. It was rebuilt until it was bombed during the Blitz. At that time, the city of London made it into a community garden. Now palm trees, ivy, and brush grow in the midst of this historical landmark. It's gothic, beautiful, and quiet. GO! I took my 14-year-old, who was NOT at all excited to visit. She ended up adoring it!
