Opposite The London Metropolitan Archives is a delightful and attractive park "Spa Fields." Here are some snaps I took on a recent visit. It seems that Spa Fields wasn't always a park for the living. I'm pleased that Mr GeniAus suggested we take that route.
If you can't read the text on this sign at the entrance to the park then there is a good account of its history here: http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum/archive/index.php?t-18142.html

Wow, what a history! Great that you took that route and learned about it to share with your readers.
