This information board is located in the 'Gardens through Time' behind the Museum of the Home. It has the following wording: Gardens Through Time From a Tudor knot garden to a green roof, the six spaces laid out here show how city gardens have developed over the centuries. They echo changes in society and the wider world, and show the fashions and innovations of the time.

How's Street passes below a railway bridge. The bridge carries a section of the London Overground network through this part of inner east London. In front of the bridge is a sacrificial beam, protecting the bridge from being hit by overheight vehicles. The road sign indicates that vehicles taller than 4.6 metres (15 feet) are prohibited from attempting to pass under the bridge. The railway was built in the early 1860s, closing in 1986. It was reopened in 2010.

But that peaceful cigar or pipe is now a thing of the past.
