In 2019 this kitchen garden, which was created from a disused tennis court, celebrated its 10th anniversary. The garden's 48 raised wooden beds maximise food-growing space, and most of those involved in the garden grow fruit, vegetables and flowers. Plot-holders donated the proceeds they received from Open Gardens weekend 2017 to the Grenfell Tower Relief Fund after debris from the fire landed in some plots. St Quintin’s won an Outstanding classification in London in Bloom between 2016 and 2018 ('It’s Your Neighbourhood’ section) and the London in Bloom Excellence in Gardening Award in 2015. Individual plot-holders have also won awards. The garden featured in The Great British Garden Revival BBC2 series in 2013.

The only remaining Lawn Bowling Club in Kensington and Chelsea, founded in 1903. Set in former award-winning gardens once patronised by royalty, now being restored by volunteers after long neglect.
Award-winning south-facing courtyard, enclosed by walls on three sides. Planting includes herbaceous perennials, climbers and tender sub-tropical plants which flourish in a microclimate.
This garden is part of the Ladbroke Estate and featured in the film 'Notting Hill'. Thomas Allason's plan of 1823 allowed for generous communal gardens, organised in a concentric layout of crescents.
Award-winning one-acre site and important learning resource centre which grows more than 40 varieties of produce with the help of the adjacent school and local residents.
