Postman's Park

The best quiet respite from the bustle of the City . Read the moving stories of everyday heroes from Victorian times to the present enshrined on plaques on the wall.

One of my favourite places in London. It's a peaceful little park well hidden from the crowd and with some history to discover.

Lovely hidden garden in the middle of the bustling city - perfect place to eat lunch on a nice day. Check out the wall of sacrifices .

This place is a hidden gem . Peaceful little park . Check out the memorial wall .

Once popular with postmen on their lunch break, this park is much higher than the streets around it because it stands on the site of 3 packed medieval burial grounds from nearby churches .

A haven of tranquility. The Memorial to Heroic achievements is moving to read

Beautifully quiet . Check out the memorial wall plaques .

See if you can find a guide book that describes this place without using the phrase "hidden gem ". Bet you can't.

The fish are nice to watch.

In Postman’s Park you can find a wall commemorating heroic self sacrifice , for those who would otherwise have no memorial. It was unveiled in 1900.

Very few places, bar war memorials, in this town that the heroic deeds of ordinary men, women and children are remembered.

Here's the plaque of Alice Ayres , where Natalie Portman gets her name from in the movie "Closer"

Atmosphere:)

Alice Ayres plague. If you've seen the film Closer you'll know what I mean!

Genuinely moving place

The ducks in the pond are back!

Take time to read the plaques

Check out the Watts Memorial - spooky awesomeness! Read more

The fish in the fountain are not for eating

Check out the plaques .

Little tear in my eye after reading these.

Что за привычка любой зеленый квадратный метр называть парком ?!
