St John's Wood Church Grounds in Westminster, London, is a public garden that evolved from a burial ground established in 1807, following the closure of nearby Paddington Street burial grounds. Opened as a public space in 1886, the grounds feature approximately 50,000 graves, including notable monuments such as the statue of watercolourist John Sell Cotman and a Neo-baroque war memorial.
The garden is characterized by its fine trees, formal displays, and a designated wildlife area, making it a serene retreat in the bustling city. It has been recognized for its beauty, winning awards in the London Squares and Gardens Competition, and offers a children's playground and commemorative benches for notable figures.
