Quite an extensive open space, somewhat hidden away behind Charing Cross Hospital. Many of the tombstones have been cleared away, though plenty remain in situ - mostly dating from the second half of the 19th century. A notice explains, almost apologetically, that the grass is left unmown through the spring and summer months, for the sake of wildlife.
