Above these gardens are walkways towards the Barbican and the scenic roof garden of St Alphage’s Highwalk.   The Minotaur sculpture by Micahel Ayrton watches threateningly over the surrounding City.
Wind tolerant species such as cistus, rosemary, choisya, abelia and elaeagnus and hardy varieties of herbaceous irises, salvias, anthemis and helleborus decorate the flower beds.
