St Alphage Garden

St Alphage Garden is an urban garden in the City of London, off London Wall.^[1] It was converted from the former churchyard of St Alphage London Wall in 1872. The north edge of the garden is defined by a section of the ancient London Wall, which was built below the current street level between 190 and 225 AD and was crenellated in 1477 during the Wars of the Roses. A lowered, paved extension to the garden lies to the west, accessed by a gate and a flight of steps. Both sections of the garden hold flower beds and benches. The main garden is mostly grass, with a magnolia tree and an oak tree. The southern edge of the garden is defined by a beech hedge. On the other side of the Wall lies the private Salters' Garden.^[1]
