Lunch in the City VIII
in Aldermanbury Square
on Monday, 3 March 2025
at 1:00pm to 1:30pm
Aldermanbury Square is a modern take on a "Pocket Park", with its grey stones, green trees and mini fountains. The current design was laid out in 2006 by Eric Parry Architects. It was a revamping of several previous post-war attempts to do something with the site.
There is a long line of "table pruned" trees that create a canopy of green, depending on the time of year. (Probably not so much at this time of year.) A small cluster of wooden seating is dotted around this green canopy, with a series of mini fountains which help to muffle the noise of the traffic on London Wall.
The initiative run by the City of London to enhance the City's streets by reclaiming them from traffic.
Aldermanbury Square was officially opened by the Lord Mayor on 20th November 2006.
All geocachers are welcome to join me in this Pocket Park for a quick meet up to discuss our fun hobby and discover or move Trackables (no big ones please). You can bring your lunch (or not). This Square is not from London Wall.
