Bus trip - Potters Fields

Potters Fields is a small park on the riverside next to City Hall and Tower Bridge. It was renovated and newly planted fairly recently.

Entrance metalwork


Planting by Dutch gardener - use of grasses and complimentary plants. Subtle colouring and few 'flowers'.

Granite seating with colourful pattern resonate of pottery


Multi-trunked birch trees (and Suda)


Neglected food growing area

We liked/ thought:

-Planting – relaxed, grasses, swathe of subtle colour – attractive for butterflies
-benches/ seating – contemporary feel
-trees – white trunks – contemporary feel

-Planting and trees
-Decorative benches, though didn’t like the individual benches which only seat one person
-Entrance is good, but unusual

-Attractive colourful low-maintenance planting
-Bonded resin paths!

-Seating is most attractive and colourful
-Raised flower beds could go over the raised mounds of graves
-Flowers on the edge of footpaths

-Entrance railings
-Granite edging
-Birch trees

-Planting - alive, colourful, sustainable

-Benches with porcelain patterns, and liked the individual bench seats

-Shiny, sharp, modern materials

-Is there a role for prairie planting in the Rec- along the pathway?
