Artwork Mount Street Gardens, Mayfair, London Original Watercolour – Alan Reed painted on hand made watercolour paper. Created on location whilst sketching in my leather bound sketchbook in London. Original Paintings and limited edition prints of the big City with art of London Bridge and Thames London.
Mount Street Gardens is a very quiet, peaceful public garden in Mayfair, London created in 1889. When I first came across it I was immediately struck by its calm, tranquil atmosphere.
The warm afternoon sunlight was forming dappled areas of sunlight and shadows. There was little sound of the traffic, only the birds which have made Mount Street Gardens their home. I wasted little time in getting out my sketchbook to make some simple watercolour studies.

This is an attractive London open space in the heart of Mayfair. This beautiful Street is situated behind houses and large mansion blocks in the midst of a quiet residential area. The Gardens consists of many large London Plane trees, with formal lawns. Planting beds of ornamental bedding plants and shrubs, and benches aligning the paths.
All the benches located in this garden have been donated in memory of special people who have loved and used the space throughout the years. The site also consists of a drinking fountain, a bird bath and bird identification panel. Mount Street Gardens have been consistently acknowledged for retaining and providing a high standard of open space. This was recognised by achieving Green Flag awards since 2007. This is a great space to spend a quiet peaceful summers afternoon – escaping the hectic existence of central London.
