Directions

St Dunstan in the East Church Garden preserves the ruins of a church in the City of London whose origins date to around 1100. A south aisle was added in 1391, reflecting the building’s long history of change. Its surviving tower and steeple are associated with Christopher Wren, and the church is Grade I listed. Today, greenery grows within the old walls, turning the remains of a place of worship into a public garden. The contrast between stone arches, planting and the surrounding City streets makes it a memorable place to pause and a popular subject for photographers. It is also a reminder that London’s historic buildings can find a new place in everyday city life.

Before you enter

  • Check current opening hours before setting out; the listed daily hours are 8 am–7 pm.
  • Bring a raincoat if the forecast is uncertain: the garden has little shelter.
  • Allow time to find St Dunstan’s Hill; the garden is tucked away from the surrounding streets.

What to expect

  • Expect a small open-air garden inside church ruins, rather than an intact church interior.
  • You may find other visitors taking photographs, particularly around the arches.
  • Look for birds and squirrels among the planting.

During your visit

  • Pause beneath the arches to see how the greenery frames the old stonework.
  • Leave space for others to sit and enjoy the garden.
  • Look up at Wren’s tower and steeple before you leave.
  • Keep a comfortable distance from the squirrels rather than feeding them.
