We are currently improving this garden, thank you for your patience.
St Peter-upon-Cornhill is a Grade I listed Wren church, rebuilt after the Great Fire with unique features like a dome, spire, key weather vane, and stunning interior wood. Today, it’s a thriving centre for biblical training and community, offering a peaceful retreat with a tranquil churchyard garden, a rare find in the bustling heart of London. Find out more about them here.
Why we are doing this
The local community in the Eastern City is eager to see an increase in biodiversity. We will do this through carefully curated planting schemes that attract local wildlife , reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, build and strengthen habits for pollinators and provide a welcoming and calming space for all.
Enhancements to this space include:
- A planting scheme designed by Tom Massey to reflect the unique micro-climate of the churchyard, prioritising plant survival, sustainability, biodiversity and pollinator friendly species.
- Improved gardening maintenance.
- Removal of vegetation to combat anti-social behaviour.
- New benches and seating arrangements to engage and immerse visitors.
- Alongside these improvements we will introduce a series of cultural activations to draw the community to the varied green spaces in the area.
