The Garden is located just off St Giles Passage and Stacey Street, north of Shaftesbury Avenue and east of Charing Cross Road.
The Garden was set up on a carpark in the 1980s, which had itself been established on a World War II bombsite (the site was bombed in 1940).
The Phoenix Garden has survived various challenges, including a major industrial fly-tipping incident soon after its foundation.
The Phoenix Garden continues to be run by a committee of volunteers comprising local residents and workers.
It also holds regular social events, including an annual Agricultural Show and volunteering work-days.
