St George's Gardens, Grade II listed public garden in Bloomsbury, London.
St George's Gardens spans 1.19 hectares of green space with preserved monuments, gravestones, and pathways surrounded by mature trees and landscaped areas.
The land was purchased in 1713 as a burial ground for St George's Bloomsbury and St George the Martyr churches, becoming one of London's first cemeteries separate from church grounds.
The garden's transformation from a cemetery to a public space in 1885 represents the Victorian era movement to create accessible green areas in urban neighborhoods.
The garden maintains three access points through Handel Street, Heathcote Street, and Sidmouth Street, with Russell Square station within walking distance.
A protective wall, built to prevent body snatchers from accessing the former burial ground, remains standing around the garden's perimeter.
