Red Cross Garden
Newly restored community garden on Redcross Way, between Union Street and Marshalsea Road.
Originally laid out by Octavia Hill in 1887, Bankside Open Spaces Trust has restored the garden to its Victorian glory.
Regular events are held in the garden and there are opportunities for volunteers to get involved in the maintenance of this important green oasis.
