College Green (London)

College Green in London is a small grass-covered public area diagonally opposite the Palace of Westminster at the corner of Millbank and Abingdon Street, and is a common place for TV reporters to interview Members of Parliament.[1]

Location

College Green is the roof of an underground car park; the site was originally in the River Thames, and separated from the College Garden of Westminster Abbey by a mediƦval wall with a watergate. Its name refers to the collegiate church of Westminster Abbey, which includes Westminster School.

It displays a Henry Moore sculpture called Knife Edge Two Piece.
