Jubilee Gardens, South Bank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jubilee Gardens is a public park in South Bank, London which was created in 1977 to mark the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II. The park is the site of a memorial to the casualties of the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War, especially the British Battalion which took very heavy casualties. Its neighbours are the London Eye, The Shell Centre, County Hall and the River Thames.
The site of the Jubilee Gardens was formerly used for the Dome of Discovery and the adjacent Skylon Tower during the Festival of Britain in 1951.
