London's Pocket Parks: Goldington Crescent Gardens, NW1
Briefly

The garden, once a private space for Goldington Crescent's houses, transformed into a public park due to the Duke of Bedford’s donations and London County Council's intervention.
The original design included a path surrounding a simple lawn, but after public use, it was redesigned with a single path through the middle to accommodate pedestrian traffic.
Art installations added in 2010, initially unpopular and often likened to giant animal turds, have provided texture to the park despite their poor reception.
The park's southern end was flipped to face the main Pancras Road, reflecting changing urban dynamics and public usage patterns over time.
