So i had arrived at Regent's Park by bus and i entered the park and looked at a map at the entrance with the usual "you are here"
According to the map Baker Street Station was a 2 minutes walk away. But this is only the case when you take the correct way. Which I, of course, did not. Here you can see where Baker St underground station is and also Chiltern Street where my hotel was. And you can see the way I took
Now all that wouldn't have been a problem but by then I really had all too human needs (hunger, thirst, in need of a loo!!)
The 2 minutes walk to Chiltern Street turned into a 15 minutes walk to my discovery of St. John's Lodge Gardens. There was this open gate and a sign explained this garden is supposed for the enjoyment of small groups of people and you should under no circumstances leave behind any rubbish (the green sign on the gate at the photo below). I decided i am a small group of one and entered.

A pergola leads inside |
At the end of the pergola, take a turn left at this vase |
Once you are through this hedge-bordered lane you are in the Secret Garden |
