Calthorpe Community Garden

What a cool place - community vibe right in the heart of London. Just popped in because we were passing and had a few minutes to spare - but would love to spend more time here and have a proper look around. My favourite bit had to be the floor mosaics. If I'd had space we would definitely have bought some plants too. Path mostly level - but there are some areas that are a bit trickier - and a mix of brick and shingle surface. Regular seating benches tucked away in nooks and crannies. We didn't get a chance to visit the main building but looked like a hive of activity and with an accessible loo too!

Calthorpe Community Garden is a 1.5 acres of green space which was saved from office redevelopment in King's Cross. It opened in the early 1980s. The beautiful gardens contain trees, shrubs and flowers as well as a community food growing area, all with a focus on environmental concerns. The gardens are divided into several spaces. There are small lawns, sports pitches and a children's play area. The main building has toilets including an accessible toilet. This area would also normally offer a community centre space and a café. There are also greenhouses and workshops. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I would be very happy to visit again. Overall disabled access is very good but there are a few steps so in places you might have to retrace your steps.
