Finsbury Circus Gardens, London’s first public park, has reopened following extensive renovations that spanned a decade due to the Elizabeth Line construction. The City of London Corporation undertook a major transformation, introducing improved seating, landscaping, and a revitalized lawn. With 12 new tree species and over 19,000 plants and bulbs added, the park aims to enhance local biodiversity. Set to become a tranquil space, the park underscores the importance of green spaces in creating a welcoming atmosphere in the Square Mile, attracting millions of visitors annually.
The largest open green space in the Square Mile has had 12 additional tree species, more than 13,000 plants and 6,000 bulbs added to its site to boost biodiversity.
Hayward said: "Our green spaces play a vital role in making the Square Mile a welcoming and attractive place to live, work, and visit..."
The gardens first became a public park known as 'Moor Fields' in the 1600s. A formal layout was introduced by George Dance the Younger in 1815.
Davis stated: "They offer a vital escape from the bustle of daily life."
