See St Paul's In Double At This Pocket Park With A New Reflection Pool

Two domes for the price of one.

That's what you'll get if you visit a pocket park in the City, newly redesigned to feature a reflection pool created by water feature specialist Andrew Ewing. The water's positioned to capture the dome of St Paul's, and on our visit just after the garden opened, was already attracting admirers.

The public park has been refreshed with new shrubs and the rather lovely imperfect circle of a pool, as part of the new mixed use development 25 Cannon Street. (The building also features a roof terrace with some of the finest St Paul's views available, but alas it's private and not available for the likes of us.)

You can explore scores more City pocket parks, with this handy map we created.
