London photos: Garden Barge Square
One last square from the Open Garden Squares Weekend a couple of weeks ago. I saved my favorite for last.

One last square from the Open Garden Squares Weekend a couple of weeks ago. I saved my favorite for last.

Arlington Square in Islington has its own poet…

Right on the Regent’s Canal in the shadow of King’s Cross and St. Pancras rail stations.

A public community space full of little alcoves of art and greenery…

I love a spooky old graveyard…

Famous as the inspiration for Albert Square, where the soap EastEnders is set.

Near King’s Cross is the Skip Garden, a movable community garden planted in skips (what we call dumpsters in the U.S.).

St. James Close is a private garden tucked between an old church and its former almshouse.

It’s normally closed to the public, but the public got a peek this past weekend.
