Joseph Grimaldi Park

The former burial ground dates to the 18th century. A proprietary chapel on the Pentonville Estate was built in 1787 and four years later became St James's, a chapel of ease for Clerkenwell parish church. St James's was given its own parish in 1854. By the late 19th century the grounds had been converted to a public garden and were later extended. By the 20th century the church building had become redundant and was demolished in the 1980s to make way for an office building – originally known as Joseph Grimaldi House and now renamed.

The park extends to 0.5 ha and includes a tarmac ball court, children's playground and shrub beds. Notable trees include specimens of lime, London plane and horse-chestnut.
