Explore London's gardens

London Parks & Gardens’ Inventory provides public access to a wealth of information on over 2,500 parks, gardens, squares, churchyards, cemeteries and other sites of historic interest across the whole of London.

Clapham Common

Clapham Common is partly in Lambeth, partly in Wandsworth and was formerly two commons belonging to the neighbouring manors. Its importance for recreation was early acknowledged and it was subject to landscape improvement from 1722 onwards.

Barking Abbey

This is the site of Barking Abbey, which had been founded in 666 AD, restored by King Edgar in 970 AD, and eventually dissolved in 1539 by which time it was the greatest Benedictine nunnery in the country.
