| | Bonnington Square Gardens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | The ‘Pleasure Garden’ in Bonnington Square, Vauxhall, was a bombsite, then a derelict playground, before it was imaginatively redesigned by the Bonnington Square Garden Association, a group of local residents with backgrounds in film, art, design and horticulture. |
 | | Funded by grants and local sponsorship, the garden includes a vast thirty-foot water wheel, an aerial boat (which sails each night at midnight to a destination of your choice) and evocative, lush, sub-tropical planting. |
 | | "To describe Bonnington as a 'hippy commune' would of course be to fall into the lazy stereotypes so beloved of our mainstream media monkeys. |
