Postman's Park

Postman's Park is a public garden in central London, just north of St Paul's Cathedral, bounded by Little Britain, Aldersgate Street, St Martin's Le Grand and King Edward Street. The park sits on the former churchyard of St Botolph's Aldersgate and adjoining burial ground, and its surface ended up raised above the surrounding streets due to the accumulation of burials. It contains the Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice by George Frederic Watts, made up of a loggia and a long wall with ceramic memorial plaques dedicated to people who died saving the lives of others. A free mobile app, The Everyday Heroes of Postman's Park, documents the lives and deaths of those commemorated at the memorial.
