Found in the Southwood Garden, at St James's Church Piccadilly built by Christopher Wren and established in 1684. The garden was used as a burial ground for 200 years until, after the second world war, Viscount Southwood paid for a garden to be laid on the site. A stone memorial contains the ashes of the Viscount and his wife. In 2011 the gardens were replanted as part of the 2012 Olympics.
