King George’s Garden

The King George’s Garden is situated next door to Seacroft Village Hall and opposite St. James’ Church in Seacroft, 4-miles east of Leeds city centre.

Local War Memorial

The introduction of the War memorial is fairly recent and it was placed there after the closure of the Seacroft Royal British Legion club. The names on the memorial are of soldiers deceased from the First and Second World War.

Sit on the Dedication Benches

The dedication benches are embedded into the stone walling around the park, facing inwards towards the flower garden. These benches encourage you to take a moment out and reflect. It’s a perfect spot for practicing a piece of mindfulness.

Flower Garden

In the centre of the green space is a flower garden that contains various types of trees and plants, including shrubs and raised beds. The most eye catching are the poppies that grow between June and September.

The Garden (Owned by Wades Charity) was opened in 1936 and was a memorial for the Coronation of King George V!.

In 2023 the garden went through a local consultation process. Funding will be used to make the space more accessible and friendly to the local community.

The nearest public toilet is a 5-minute walk to the Cricketers Arms pub.

There are rubbish bins in and around the garden.

Key Fisheries is just down the road on York Road. Get yourself a chippy tea to have in the garden.

Park for free next door in the Seacroft Village Hall car park, LS14 6JS (Google Map Directions).

The gardens are accessible only by a set of steps down into the garden – this makes it inaccessible to a wheelchair user.
