The most fascinating fact about that sculpture (the original one in Florence, Italy) is this one:

Visitors to Il Porcellino put a coin into the boar's gaping jaws, with the intent to let it fall through the underlying grating for good luck, and they rub the boar's snout to ensure a return to Florence [...] which has kept the snout in a state of polished sheen while the rest of the boar's body has patinated to a dull brownish-green.

Those gates seem like they were taken from a concentration camp.

If I was a former political prisoner seeing those gates alone would give me PTSD

I wonder how the gardeners fight off weeds in that garden - in full hazmat and using "agent orange"

The place is in the middle of London, which is full of little well-manicured public and private squares with gardens. The scary is deliberate and probably cuts down on the dead bodies found on Saturday mornings.

It's a nice normal looking garden inside (that's part of the danger...). I've been on a tour - no protective kit required, although I bet the staff wear heavy gloves and long sleeves when caring for the plants.

100 years ago, everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars.

Now everyone has cars and only the rich have horses.

The stables have turned.

To go to the opposite of this garden, I'm reminded of the story of the American visiting London who, long story short, desperately needed a bathroom ("loo") to take a whiz but could not find one and was about to do it up against a wall in an alley when a cop ("bobby") tapped him on the shoulder and said Sir, we don't DO that here in London but if you'll follow me, I'll show you where you CAN go.

Bobby takes the guy around the corner and opens up the gate to this beautiful garden and tells the American that he can go anywhere in there. Guy does so, comes out and thanks the bobby profusely and says that must be what they call the British hospitality. Bobby says, well, no sir, it's actually what we call the French Embassy.
