Finsbury Circus garden reopens with new pathways, planting, and pavilion
Briefly

Finsbury Circus, the largest public space in the City of London, has recently reopened after a significant refurbishment following a decade of Crossrail construction. The updated design features an 'urban forest' and an oval pathway, along with colorful islands of bedding plants that enhance the garden's aesthetic. The revamped area includes numerous wooden and stone benches, as well as restored drinking fountains. Despite some compromises in the pavilion's design, the overall revitalization offers a welcoming, green space in the heart of the city, now ready for public enjoyment.
Before Crossrail arrived, Finsbury Circus was primarily a lawn, but after extensive refurbishment, it now features an 'urban forest' and an oval pathway around lush bedding plants.
The design by Hackney-based Architecture00 + Studio Weave incorporates islands of flowers and a raised corten steel ring, which are trendy elements in contemporary garden design.
