In my first few weeks exploring downtown London I stumbled upon a quaint little garden no bigger than some Canadian backyard. Soho Square Gardens dates back to 1681 and was originally called "King Square" after King Charles II whose statue can be found there to this day. It is located in Central London near Tottenham Court Road tube station, so I suppose that its small size is to be expected as space is a major commodity. There were quite a few people gathered there for lunch or simply relaxing even though there was nothing particularly special about this garden except perhaps for its small size. If you are seeking a better quality air than most of London has to offer, I would suggest heading to Hyde Park or Epping Forest instead.
