Can you post a snip of the address please with surrounding text for letter comparison as 'physic' seems odd (at least to me)?
Not odd at all. It's a garden where medicinal plants are grown for use by physicians.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I must admit to checking the original before I looked at maps.   Neighbouring properties are just listed Old Physic Gardens

And just to show how completely wrong my previous suggested location was  :-\ - I think this shows both Ironstone Court and Physic Gardens https://maps.nls.uk/view/74415446#zoom=5&lat=1587&lon=3341&layers=BT

There is a plaque on the wall in Waverley Station referring to the Physic Garden. The Physic Garden and Trinity College Church were two of the places that were cleared to make way for the Waverley Station (or its predecessors in the 1840s) when it was built in the 1860s.
