About The Onion garden

The Onion Garden is the brainchild of founder Jens Jakobsen who has created a garden open to all.

Based in an unloved concreted area in Westminster it is a work in progress but one the whole community can enjoy.

It is  a complete Container Garden built on top of Tube Lines District and Circle Lines only 10 minutes walk from Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey and Parliament.

It’s a space for gathering, connecting, enjoying, sharing, collaborating, inspiring and learning.

The cafe gets rave reviews for its coffee, pastries, soups and sandwiches.

They serve cocktails, wine & beer from midday.

Only fair to try them out!

It is also an area of tranquillity for humans a space for biodiverse wildlife.

And all in the heart of London!

Reviews of The Onion Garden

Rated 5 Stars on Google Reviews!

Don’t take our word for it. Here are some reviews of The Onion Garden!

“Located in the heart of London, this café is a true hidden gem that blends charm, magic, and environmental consciousness.”

“This really is a hidden gem. Located behind the Taj In London, a step away from Buckingham Palace and Victoria.

The coffee is fresh and tasty and the staff is lovely. Highly recommend a stop here”.

“A linear pathway on a short narrow corridor surrounded by foliage and plants with some seating might not sound like much but the reveal is unexpected and delightful.
The level of inspiration, competence, enthusiasm and hard work evident here is astonishing.”
