Two Cities Heroes - Meet Jens Jakobsen

Did you know the Two Cities has a huge onion tree growing right in the heart of Victoria? It’s in an impressive urban garden on Seaforth Place, just behind City Hall - an oasis of green with more than 150 different plants. Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, happened to discover it as she was passing by.

Everybody is welcome! So if you need a quiet spot to think, read a book or just relax and get away from it all, make sure you visit. 

It’s run by the amazing florist Jens Jakobsen. Nickie spoke to him in the latest of her Two Cities Heroes series. 

Listen to the full conversation on Nickie's community podcast ‘In Conversation with Nickie Aiken’ available on places like Apple and Spotify or here.

Thousands of local people, along with business owners and tourists, have been calling for the licensing of pedicabs to tackle the rogue operators whose loud noises cause irritation and whose rip-off fares penalise Londoners and visitors alike.
