Once nothing more than a barren wasteland between two railway lines, the Nomadic Community Gardens have been touted as one of London’s most impressive, yet relatively unknown, attractions.

A plethora of street art covers the garden areas and buildings constructed of found materials. The community has added makeshift theaters, bars, galleries, and coffee shops, building a small village in the unique space.

This hidden gem started as an experiment in social regeneration, but the gardens blossomed into a community obsession that transformed an unattractive part of town into an artistic, wholly original gathering place where locals and tourists alike can admire London’s urban creativity.
