Sightseeing

a small garden. My oasis in the city - a hidden gem tucked away between blocks of houses - five minutes from the house.
historic building that houses the London Welsh Centre and an excellent well-hidden little pub

parks

a small garden facing the south of my apartment block. take a note of its history too. Formerly a burial ground for St Andrew's Holborn that closed for burials in 1850, the site was converted into public gardens in 1885 when St Pancras Borough Council acquired it along with a strip of land at the southern edge. St Andrew's Gardens are laid out as two rectangular lawns bisected by a central path with mature London planes and an ancient weeping ash. Many of the headstones were resited near the northern entrance but a few C18th chest tombs remain in situ in the gardens. A granite drinking fountain and a small red brick lodge date from the C19th.

absolute must-see, especially when the flowers are on display during spring/summer and late autumn.

neighbourhood

Cool Neighbourhood 15 minutes walk away with nice little restaurants, business centers, theatres and a bit of night life. An overall good alternative to Soho to go out.
