About Ropers Gardens
- 🌿 Ropers Gardens is a small, relaxing place for a quick recharge after exploring the town.
- 🗺️ Interesting garden with seats and a local map on the back wall, developed from a bomb crater – needs some tender loving care (TLC).
- 💣 The sunken and terraced formal garden was laid out in 1964 on a bombed site, giving it a distinctive melancholic air of the Sixties. It features an unfinished Jacob Epstein panel and a bronze nude sculpture.
- ✨ Good use of basements from WW2 bombed buildings adds an interesting touch.
- 🐕 Dog walkers love this park, which even has its own posh dedicated dog toilet.
- 🍃 Located near Chelsea Embankment and next to Chelsea Old Church, two standout features are The Awakening by Gilbert Ledward and an unfinished stone carving by Sir Jacob Epstein.
- 😔 Some mixed opinions about elderly lady with dogs who seems unfriendly towards kids and visitors.
- 🚫 Unfortunately, the park is sometimes used as a dog toilet, so caution is necessary while walking on the grass.
- Overall, Ropers Gardens offers a peaceful retreat with interesting elements that speak to its history.
