This month you can escape the concrete jungle during Open Garden Squares Weekend (17-18 Jun). Organised by London Parks & Gardens Trust, the event grants access to private or little-known public spaces that you might not otherwise hear about.
The event launched in 1998 with 40 private squares, and has since expanded to include 230 diverse spaces including allotments, skips, churchyards and rooftops.
One of this year’s highlights is a chance to visit Crossrail Place Roof Garden, which sits above Canary Wharf Crossrail station; the exotic garden is inspired by the area’s rich maritime heritage. Sit and soak in the sights and scents of the garden’s ferns, grasses and flowering shrubs.
