"These public gardens were created on the former burial ground, in use prior to the establishment of Wandsworth Cemetery ... The gardens have recently been relandscaped with a path running west to east from semi-circular paved area backed by shrub planting off Garratt Lane with benches, sculptural light fixtures. A number of chest tombs and gravestones are set into the lawns" http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/Home/EnvironmentandTransport/Parks/Parkscommons/GarrattLaneOBG.htm . Across Garratt Lane rises the Arndale Centre. The two tower blocks, completed in 1974, are Edwyn House and Albon House; a third is off to the left.
