According to the sign in the park, the garden was acquired by the church of St. John the Evangelist, Smith Square, for the use as a cemetery and was consecrated in July 1731. Interestingly, there used to be quite a bit of grave-robbing here for bodies to be used for dissection. The sign doesn't seem to indicate what happened to the graves since then.

Add to it the all-weather sports pitch and nearby city farm and this is great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the Vauxhall Cross Gyratory.

If you live in the area, I strongly recommend you check out this park especially now that the sun is coming out!
