St Dunstan in the East Church Garden, Church garden in City of London, England
The garden occupies the ruins of a former church, featuring stone walls covered with climbing plants and a fountain surrounded by benches.
The original church from 1100 sustained damage in the Great Fire of 1666, and Christopher Wren designed its new steeple completed in 1701.
The transformation from a bombed church into a public garden in 1971 represents London's approach to preserving historical structures for modern use.
Located between Monument and Tower Hill stations, the garden welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM except on December 25-26 and January 1.
The preserved gothic arches and windows frame modern skyscrapers, creating unexpected views through medieval stone against contemporary glass buildings.
