Battersea Memorial Garden

KILLING time recently by wandering through the streets of Battersea, southwest London, I came across an attractive display of roses that turned out to be part of a memorial garden for locals who were killed in WW2.

The area was originally an "outdoors drawing-room," an idea I had never heard of, complementing next-door Christ Church.
