The name of Leathermarket Gardens comes from the historic leather markets and tanneries nearby. The park was laid out in the 1930s, and the gardens are overlooked by flats of the same period. It is a popular sitting out area for local workers. Rising above everything else in the background is The Shard. When I took the same photograph in October 2011 The Shard was still being built - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2647620
