The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Marylebone
Marylebone offers what so many London neighbourhoods cannot: a village feel coupled with urban convenience. Much of its success rests in its location. Wedged between the northeastern corner of Hyde Park and the southern end of Regent's Park and with a number of Tube stations within easy reach, Marylebone is as pedestrian friendly as Central London gets. The bustling shopping mecca of Oxford Street separates it from Soho and Mayfair, exclusive Regent Street marks its border with Fitzrovia, and cosmopolitan Edgware Road serves as its western edge. Within this enviably situated quarter are an array of outstanding restaurants (from Michelin darlings to down and dirty cheeseburgers), an impressive assortment of independently owned shops, and some of the city's quietest and most pleasant nooks, crannies and cobbled lanes.
How to get there
- Oxford Circus • 4 min walk
- Bond St • 5 min walk

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is circular shaped public garden in the Marylebone area of the city. The park has open grass and some trees but is not as well kept as many of the city parks you may have seen while sightseeing around the city. It is also centred with an empty plinth of the removed statue of William Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765). You will also find a statue of Lord George Bentinck if interested.

We went on bank Holiday Monday as an alternative to Carnival. To be honest, from the advertising, I was expecting more. It’s a nice park and the food trucks were lovely. Had a Pimms. But we were there from lunchtime, all afternoon until about 5pm and there was no entertainment. It seems all the entertainment is ticket only and doesn’t start until around 9pm (for adults) I was disappointed. I thought, especially on a Bank Holiday, there would have been something.

Extremely nice to stop off and escape the hustle and bustle of Regents and Oxford Streets. Well laid out and very tidy, nice to chill for a while.

I think my title says it all. Located at the rear of the John Lewis Oxford Street store, you can grab a coffee or snack from the basement Waitrose and chill out for a while.

A very pleasant place to sit and eat lunch.
Also trying to get to the truth of something I heard some years ago; that the gardens are an ancient burial site, and whether that was destroyed by the building of an underground car park!

Nice place to have a picnic, or eat from one of the food trucks during the Underbelly Festival, where they apparently have many other activities on the agenda (circus, comedy, etc.).

The garden wasn't my main focal point when passing through on our bus tour, the recessed figure with Latin above it was...I still haven't managed to learn anymore about it.

We had spent a busy morning exploring some parts of the West End that we hadn’t been to during previous stays in London. Afterwards, we had spent a couple of hours shopping along Oxford Street.
Eventually, by early afternoon we were hungry and in need of a rest. We remembered from our last visit to Oxford Street that nearby Cavendish Square Gardens provided a bit of a haven from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. Consequently, we purchased some sandwiches and cool drinks then headed there to take a break.
Unfortunately, when we arrived there, we discovered that some parts of the square and gardens were under renovation. As a result, there was only limited space for workers and visitors to sit and east their lunches. After spending a bit of time looking around, we finally found two spots on a shared park bench. We were just happy to find somewhere to rest our feet and enjoy a quick bite to eat.
Sadly, because of the renovation work our surroundings were not particularly salubrious. Hopefully, by the time that we next visit London, the Cavendish Square Gardens will be fully restored and we will be able to enjoy improved surroundings whilst we snack on our sandwiches!

Cavendish Square contains in its middle attractive gardens with aboard containing useful information about the history of the square originally conceived in 1717. There is a quirky sculpture, a currently empty plinth at the centre and plenty of seats and grass for sunbathing. Access is made a little difficult as one has to negotiate the ugly concrete entrance to the underground car park beneath dating from 1971.
