Hidden away in the Marylebone area of London, the Gardens are slighly strange as they are split in two across Paddington Street. It does mean that they have different characters, the north being quieter and more reflective, the south more active, vibrant and colourful with flowers. Originally burial grounds in the 18th century, they became gardens in 1885 and were officially opened by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyle and a daughter of Queen Victoria, in 1886. Most of the monuments were cleared, but a few survive, and there is a new 1940's statue of a street orderly boy. A nice touch, which I have not seen anywhere else, is a description of the different roses. There is also a play area and pavilions for shelter in rainy weather. …

The whole was opened as recreational land in 1886 by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. Today they present as a mixture of lawns with wooden seating along the sides, the occasional statue, a metal sundial, two table tennis tables and a hut in front of a children’s playground. …

Located close to Baker Street in Marylebone is this little public gardens. The garden is actually split in two parts. The northern part is much smaller and not quite as nice. In fact, there are drug dealers operating openly. One even offered me his business card and asked me to call him for a "menu". The souther part is much nice. A pleasant little park with plenty of benches, paved walkways, a playground for young children and the grass is full and well maintained. It'a cute little park in the centre of London and good for a rest after spending a day walking round the area.…
