The community garden with its pond and wildflowers is enjoyed by local residents, including schoolchildren.
The garden opened in 2006 thanks to a partnership between Bankside Open Spaces Trust and Tate Modern.
Planting days, pond dipping, wildlife spotting, events and gardening clubs all take place here, so local people can meet, dig, have fun and take pleasure in flowers, plants and animals, in what is otherwise a busy tourist thoroughfare.
Today is a rare opportunity for the general public to visit this hidden oasis.
