World Peace Garden

A modest garden with lofty goals can be found between the generous Hampstead Heath and the busy Royal Free Hospital. The World Peace Garden, which is a serene forest glade with three ponds and a wishing well, genuinely lives up to its name.

The sentiments and aspirations of the people who lived and worked in the region, which had been a wasteland for more than a century next to Hampstead Railway Station, are preserved in glass and ceramic tiles that run across a wall. In addition, tea parties, puppet shows, jazz nights, and regular chess competitions are held in World Peace garden. This wasteland near to Hampstead Heath station was turned into an award-winning wooded glade by volunteers. This public area, which Condé Nast Traveler suggests, has three tiny ponds with interesting flora, winding walks, casual seating for performances on the stage at the bottom, and room to think in solitude.

The ponds and soft landscaping were planned by Tony Panayiotou, and the hard landscaping was made by Michael Wardle. Visitors are greeted by Peace Tiles made and given by Melissa Fairbanks by the Friends of Peace Garden. The Peace Garden received the Hampstead category of the Time Out Love London Award for Local Culture (2016).
