I'd like to remove the patio slabs and lay some turf or plant lawn seeds on the top level of this mid terraced London garden. My plan also includes removing the brick retaining walls from the permimiter on the top level. This will be to create a more square/Rectangle lawn. I'd like some advice on removing the patio slabs and turfing options for the top level please. Also some ideas for a new retaining wall please, could be anything from sleepers to hold back the soil to a new brick retaining wall or even some new gravel boards for the fencing. Any ideas would be appreciated, thank you!

Detail of image from qquestion

Start here where they appear to be loose, and pull them up, using your hands and/or a prybar as needed, proceeding up and to the right.

If you are removing these and the upper brick retaining walls, given the annoyance of both disposing and sourcing materials in a city garden, I'd strongly consider using these pavers and the bricks you remove as materials for your new retaining wall.
