St Dunstan in the East Church Garden is located within the ruins of a 17th century church designed by Christopher Wren that was damaged in the Great Fire of London. The garden is a green oasis with benches and a fountain surrounded by greenery growing on the historic church walls. The church was originally built around 1100 and repaired over time until most was destroyed in the fire, with the ruins then converted to a public garden in the 1970s.
