                Bit of a trick question really because fifty years ago eastenders would have used that term to describe any patch of ground overrun with stinging nettles.

                EDIT - The park in the Small Faces song was probably in Manor Park or Ilford.

                Borough High Street.

                Where can you see some of the original London Wall?

                      One's a crappy restaurant, and one looks after the Tower.
