Lauderdale House garden, Waterlow Park. The inscription reads: How well the skilful gardener drew Of flowers and herbs this dial new. Where, from above, the milder sun Does through a fragrant zodiac run. And, as it works, the industrious bee Computes its time as well as we. How could such sweet and wholesome hours Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers. Andrew Marvell (1620-78) The poet's home was nearby and is marked by this plaque on Highgate Hill:

The dial plate is level with the top of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. So is the ladybug.

Highgate Hill. Plaque reads: Four feet below this spot is the stone step formerly the entrance to the cottage in which lived Andrew Marvell, Poet, Wit, and Satirist; Colleague with John Milton in the Foreign or Latin Secretaryship during the Commonwealth; and for about twenty years M.P. for Hull. Born in Winestead, Yorkshire, 31st March, 1621, Died in London, 18th August, 1678, and Buried in the Church of St Giles-in-the-Fields. This memorial is places here by the London County Council, December 1898. One of Marvell's poems is on a plaque in Waterlow Park:

I'd never seen a pink plaque (women's history) before. This one is for two sisters, artists and educators, who founded the Channing House School to educate girls and young women in 1885. The school is still going today, with a Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form College.

Installed by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association on Highgate Hill next to the Waterlow Park wall.

The one on the left is probably St Mary's Islington. On the right is St Pancras Parish, dated 1791. Located on Highgate Hill at Dartmouth Park Hill.
