London's Pocket Parks: Jubilee Gardens, EC2

The park is situated on a road in the city called Houndsditch and was once part of the old Roman Wall that surrounded the city. The name is alleged to have originated from various sources, either the dumping of waste into the ditch that ran along the outside of the wall, resulting in numerous dogs scavenging for food, or perhaps that kennels for the City hunt used to be located here.
