Description:

Abbey Gardens is a public space leased by the Friends group from Newham Council and designed by Karen Guthrie and Nina Pope of Somewhere.org.uk.

The Gardens surround part of the ruin of a protected C12th Cistercian Abbey, where monks ran a productive garden, you can also see the more recent remains of C19th terraced houses.
