Established by the Knights Templar in 1195, The Inner Temple has had a Gardener since 1307. Surviving The Great Fire of London, and the Blitz, the Gardens remain a secret and tranquil oasis. Today the Garden is managed for beauty and biodiversity, providing a haven for people and wildlife in the heart of the City.

HMS WELLINGTON, moored on Victoria Embankment, is the last remaining Battle of the Atlantic Convoy Escort ship still afloat in Europe. In the 6-year Battle, she steamed close to quarter of a million miles, escorted 103 Atlantic Convoys and rescued from the sea hundreds of civilian and seamen survivors who would surely have perished but for her efforts. This is a unique and fascinating warship.
