About this space

College Garden is a Garden in Westminster Abbey that provides a sheltered, enclosed lawned courtyard framed by historic college buildings.

Design: The garden presents a rectangular lawn edged by paved paths and planting beds and punctuated by mature trees. Red-brick college buildings form the perimeter and give the space a contained, formal scale.

Features: The garden provides level grass and paved walkways suitable for standing or seated layouts. The garden has natural light throughout, a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair-accessible routes and accessible toilets. The garden is subject to noise restrictions.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an informal, outdoor and relaxed standing or seated gathering are best matched to this garden.
