Geocache Description:


Lunch in the City IV - 12:45 to 13:15

Join me for lunch in this historic location to discuss our hobby, geocaching. Please bring your trackables (no big ones as I return to work afterwards) for discovery or trading.

There are steps that lead down into Salters' Garden which would make it unsuitable for wheelchair users.

If the weather is inclement, there is a sheltered space close by where we can stay dry.  

Salters' Garden

The Salters' Garden is a hidden gem, a lovely sunken garden associated with the Salters, one of the City of London's Livery Companies. It is an acre-wide garden surrounding a portion of the London Wall, giving this Garden a Roman heritage site status.

The Salters is a City of London Livery company, one of the guilds formed in Medieval times. The Salters were given their first license in 1394 from King Richard II, although they were probably going for centuries.

The Salters were one of the most important Livery companies, ranked 9th when the Order of Precedence was established in 1516.

The Salters dealt in, as you may have guessesd, salt - which was an important commodity, not just for seasoning and preserving food but it was used in medical treatments.
