Bernie Spain Gardens

A fantastic lunch spot for the summer, or even to lay out a rug for an early evening picnic whilst the light fades.
Not the biggest park out there (clue is in the name), but what a location! Just off the Southbank, not many people realise it’s there and so it doesn’t get the tourist footfall that the main river path does.
Come the winter it’s a nice spot for a walk during my lunch hour.
Oh and I had opportunity to check-​in here recently due to it being the congregation point for my office during a fire evacuation. Not a bad spot for it, I must say.

Bernie Spain Gardens — when I worked around the corner, this was my favourite lunchtime spot. A perfectly relaxing little garden, ideal for taking you away from work. There are benches, but if the weather allows, I like to sit on one of the banks of the bowl shaped lawn, or perhaps under one of its trees. If you’re looking for a view then a bench on the southbank is probably a better bet, and it’s not the sort of place you’d make the journey to on its own merit, but if you’re in the area and you want somewhere to relax for a bit, then it’s perfect.

If you’ve read my reviews you’ll probably see that I’m the biggest fan of the Southbank ever, I love it so much.
Bernie Spain Gardens is a gorgeous little haven on the Southbank, it’s between the Oxo Tower and Gabriel’s Wharf. This park really comes to life in the summer time when the Southbank’s workers and visitors descend upon the park to bask in the sun. The park also hosts the Coin Street Festival in the summer as well.
London’s got so many parks but if you are shopping along the Southbank, this place is a great little rest stop. There’s nothing better than sitting with a juice on the grass in the summer time watching the people pass by — perfect…
