Potters Fields Park
Potters Fields Park is a unique green open space by the Thames next to Tower Bridge. With its spacious lawns, whispering trees, quiet walkways and colourful wildlife-friendly gardens, it offers an oasis in the middle of London.
Whether you’re looking for quiet contemplation, iconic London views, somewhere to walk the dog, a place to picnic with friends or a lively event, Potters Fields is open 365 days a year for everyone to enjoy. It can also be hired for events.
Planting
Since 2025, we’ve been working on a new phased sustainable planting scheme for Potters Fields Park. With landscape designer Darryl Moore, we’ve implemented a climate resilient design, using a mix of mainly native and European plants which are drought-tolerant and biodiversity-friendly. 15,000 plants have been planted in the last two years – there are now over 110 plant species in our newly-planted beds.
Wildlife
Our herbaceous planting scheme is home to a whole host of wildlife, from bees and birds to insects and bats. We actively encourage wildlife to grow and live in the parks by introducing bat boxes, bee hives, bluebell meadows and insect hotels.
History
The Park’s rich history, dating back to its use in the 17th Century, not only defines its name as ‘Potters Fields’ but is also what makes it so special. Many of the architectural features within the park conscientiously nod towards its varied history, as London’s pottery kiln, as London’s trade hub, London’s ecological and community space and London’s tourist destination. Potters Fields is home to many stories.
