About Potters Fields Park
Potters Fields Park lies at the very heart of London, on the southern side of the Thames. It has sweeping views of the river, and iconic sights of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the 'Gherkin', the glass dome of City Hall and HMS Belfast. The grassy mounds and riverside walks of Potters Fields Park are also one of the few remaining green open spaces along the riverside.
Extensively landscaped in 2007, the park you see today has been transformed into a beautiful, world class facility, which hundreds of people pass through and enjoy on a daily basis. Landscape architects Gross Max created a place for public events and private contemplation; a park which reflects upon its distinctive local history, and provides a safe, clean and restful space within the bustle of the city.
Its sweeping expanses of grass, whispering trees, quiet walkways and colourful herbaceous garden by Piet Oudolf, world famous plantsman, provide an oasis of peace. Bring the family for a picnic; lie on the grass and read a book; have a drink and a bite to eat from the cafe; or just stroll through the park on your way to work - there are so many ways to relax. It's your park, and we want you to enjoy it.
The park is managed by the Potters Fields Park Management Trust.
