Featured in Patrick Marber’s play Closer, plus the film adaptation starring Jude Law and Natalie Portman, this park is quiet and contemplative, yet it’s in the middle of London, right around the corner from St Paul’s. The moving Memorial to Heroic Sacrifice lists people who gave their lives for family and friends. The Alice Ayres tile on the Memorial to Heroic Sacrifice. That’s where Natalie Portman’s character in Closer gets her name.

Postman's Park - the nondescript home to The Watts Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice, a memorial to ordinary people who died while saving the lives of others and who might otherwise be forgotten.

Such a lovely hidden gem near St. Pauls. The can't-miss part of the park is a memorial wall with tiles commemorating those who lost their lives so others could live. It's beautiful, touching, and well worth a visit (I trekked here from north London to see it*). Benches, trees, a fountain... it's lovely.

The Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice - words to describe: spell binding, sweet, thought provoking, unsung hero's...and definitely worth a visit. It's a public monument in Postman's Park in the City of London, commemorating ordinary people who died saving the lives of others and who might otherwise have been forgotten. Their names are on ceramic tiles under the awning.
