Mount Street Gardens
Mount Street Gardens are a former burial ground of the parish of St
George's, Hanover Square. Part of it was also previously used as a
workhouse, although this was demolished in 1886 and it was first laid out
as a public garden in 1889-1890. In 2007, Mount Street Gardens were awarded
a
Green Flag Award.
Mount Street Garden Fountain
The fountain, seen in the pictures below, was designed by Sir Ernest George

local residents, and unveiled by the Duke of Westminster in 2006.
