Why it's Wildland
3.3At the centre of De Beauvoir Town, this neighbourhood garden brings together rose beds, lawns and a children’s play area, with the surrounding residential streets forming part of the visit.
This is a small urban green rather than a wild landscape. Its appeal is the contrast: a cared-for rose garden and lawn at the heart of a leafy, historic-feeling East London neighbourhood. Come for a quiet pause or combine it with a walk around De Beauvoir Town.
