The secret gardens of London tour is a private guided tour designed for garden lovers, parks aficionados and lovers of flowers.
The tour starts at St. Martin in the Fields Church (front steps) on the east side of Trafalgar Square, from there you'll visit the nearby St. Paul’s Artist Church designed by the talented Inigo Jones with its adjoining rose garden. From there, you'll head up to the delightful Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London’s largest square designed in the early 17th century. Adjacent is the amazing John Soane’s Museum, home to many beautiful things including some lovely garden statuary. Soane was a Victorian architect and his design genius is apparent in his eclectic house. You'll take a tea/coffee break at the Square’s charming cafe. A short walk away and you're into the law courts and the Temple gardens, where you'll find the shaded fountain made famous by Charles Dickens (from his novel Martin Chuzzlewit).
Then, you'll take an iconic London black taxi to the historic Chelsea Physic Garden, established in 1673 where they have a selection of apothecary plants and flowers – and more. The Garden is unique in London and has a large assortment of medicinal plants.
You are now more than ready for an English afternoon tea, which is conveniently located nearby. The tour ends by returning to nearby Sloane Square or alternatively at your leisure in the Physic Garden.
