St George's Gardens

The tree-lined path through Fletcher Moss runs along the River Mersey in the distance.

Acquired in 1713 as a burial ground for St George's Bloomsbury and St George the Martyr, when it was still in open country, it was opened in 1714 and was one of the first London burial grounds detached from a parish church. It was made into a garden in the 1880s following a campaign, in which Octavia Hill was involved, to preserve it as an open space for the poorer inhabitants of the area. The gardens as a whole are Grade II* listed. The obelisk dates from 1729.
