St George's Gardens
Probably one of Tower Hamlets' least known historic public
Gardens. The Gardens are located on the Highway with entrances from
Cable Street. The former churchyard grounds surround the Nicholas
Hawksmoor designed Church of St George-in-the-East. They were
opened to the public in 1875.
Through a ten month period, the Gardens have undergone a major
refurbishment with support from the National Lottery Heritage
Lottery Fund. New paths, planting and grass areas have been
laid out and significant heritage features including monuments and
walls have been conserved and repaired.
St George-in-the-East Gardens is 1.19 hectares in area size and
falls under LAP 1.
