I never thought I would find a green space near Oxford Circus which is well known for buzzy crowds of people, shops and endless streets, but then today a nice little green space avenue popped up right outside across the street of John Lewis!
I walked into boutique from the main door, marched straight across the store through make up department, entered Nero cafe, bought a cup of hot chocolate to take away and exited right through the door on the other side of the cafe. I found myself in a much less crowded street, I only had to cross it and there it was - nice cosy park venue with benches and trees. Perfect get-a-way from tiring high-street shopping, noise, crowds of people and massive amount of transport in the streets.
The place is called Cavendish Square Gardens and dates from 1717 surrounded by Victorian buildings. Seemed to me like all the native Londoners had been going there for a lunch break over long period of time, because I found only one unoccupied bench left. Perfect!
