Visit to Finsbury Circus Gardens

We are excited to invite you to a special visit to Finsbury Circus Gardens, the largest green space within the City of London at approximately 3 acres. Previously used as a Crossrail worksite during the construction of the Elizabeth Line, the gardens sit almost directly above Liverpool Street’s Elizabeth Line station. Following the completion of the works, the site was returned to the City of London Corporation, with funds allocated for its reinvigoration.

The City Corporation’s Open Spaces team has led the transformation project, which is now nearing completion—the builders are about to leave!

After a brief introduction, Jake Tibbetts, Manager of City Gardens at the City Corporation, will provide insights into the challenges faced during the project and the complexities of designing and delivering the new gardens.

Following our tour, those who wish can join us for refreshments at Gail’s in Liverpool Street Station for further discussions and networking.

Important Information:

The visit takes place outdoors, so please dress appropriately for early May weather. While there is some shade, the sun can be strong.
There are no toilet facilities in the Gardens, but facilities are available at Liverpool Street Station.
Group size is limited to 20 participants, so book early to secure your place!

A perfect time to visit, as the building works are finishing—don’t miss this unique opportunity!
