The League of Friends Multi Faith Peace garden was built in 2001, with money raised by the League's Business group. Sited in the middle of the hospital in South Block, it is overlooked by the main concourse and link corridor, and viewing balcony from the multi faith sanctuary. Its many features include beautiful pictures and plants that emphasise on the tranquil setting, making it an ideal place to take a seat and gather your thoughts. Access to the garden is on the ground floor adjacent Harold Hopkins urology dept.
