College Green (formally known as Abingdon Street Gardens) is a small public park in the City of Westminster in Central London.[1] The gardens are situated behind Westminster Abbey, and to the east of Westminster Abbey Gardens and are adjacent to the Houses of Parliament.[1] The gardens are not enclosed and are accessible at all times.[1]
The park is a common place for television reporters to interview Members of Parliament.[2] Henry Moore's bronze sculpture Knife Edge Two Piece 1962–65 is located in the gardens.[1]
The gardens form the landscaped roof of a two storey underground car park, and were constructed from 1963 to 1964.[3]
The site was originally in the River Thames, and separated from the College Garden of Westminster Abbey by a medieval wall with a watergate. Its name refers to the collegiate church of Westminster Abbey, which includes Westminster School.
