Henry William Portman developed the first square in the 18th century on 200 acres; it was immediately popular as it neighboured buildings designed by Robert Adam and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart. The gardens once contained a movable temple, erected by the Turkish ambassador to enjoy the seasons. First laid out around 1780 as a wilderness, it was re-landscaped in the early 1900s. Today, there is a private one hectare garden square, shaded by magnificent plane trees, alongside a children’s play area and a tennis court. The secluded and peaceful garden won a Silver award at the London Gardens Society competition in 2018.
