College Green (aka Abingdon Green,[1] formally known as Abingdon Street Gardens) is a public park in the City of Westminster in Central London.[2] It is east of Westminster Abbey including Westminster Abbey Gardens and across a road from the gardens of the Houses of Parliament.[2] The gardens are not enclosed and are accessible at all times.[2] For many months of 2019, during the Brexit deadlock, it exclusively hosted TV broadcasts and radio and media interviews.
The park is a common place for television reporters to interview Members of Parliament.[3] Henry Moore's bronze sculpture Knife Edge Two Piece 1962–65 is in the gardens.[2]
The gardens are a roof to a two-storey underground car park constructed from 1963 to 1964.[4] The site was originally a tidally flooded bank of the River Thames 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.
