The Phoenix Garden

Established in 1984, the Phoenix Garden is a neighborhood community garden in the heart of London, England. The Phoenix Garden is tucked between the bustling Soho and Covent Garden neighborhoods and is situated in St Giles, in the London Borough of Camden, behind the Phoenix Theatre. The Garden is situated just east of Charing Cross Road, north of Shaftesbury Avenue, and between St. Giles Passage and Stacey Street. This is one of Hidden Green Spaces In London that has hidden beauty.

The Garden was constructed in the 1980s on a parking lot that had previously been a World War II bombing range (the site was bombed in 1940). The Garden had housed numerous homes, including a bar. The Phoenix Garden has overcome several difficulties, including a significant industrial fly-tipping problem shortly after its establishment. Of the original seven Covent Garden Community Gardens, only one remains today.

The garden was shut down for an 18-month refurbishment in 2016 as it faced closure. It reopened in 2017 with a building housing event space created by Office Sian. The 2019 movie Last Christmas includes a scene from the garden. In the shadows of Charing Cross Road, this is a great location for a peaceful lunch break. Volunteers take care of the garden's plants, flowers, and wildlife. Watch out for frogs and sparrows, which are flourishing as a result of a passionate conservation effort.
