Eccleston Square is named after Eccleston in Cheshire, part of the Duke of Westminster's estates. Created from a low-lying swamp, it was drained in the early 17th century and designed in 1828 by Thomas Cubitt (1788-1855). The garden has been replanted over three decades to provide year-round interest. The garden boasts many specialist collections, including camellias, climbing and shrub roses, and a National Collection of ceanothus. In 2006, a Wollemi pine – considered extinct until found recently in Australia – was donated to the square. Other unusual tender plants include the giant Mexican dahlia, Dahlia imperialis, and the white sunflower tree, Rojasianthe superba, from Guatemala.
Multi-award-winning Grade II-listed historic garden square, laid out in the early 1840s as part of Thomas Cubitt's Pimlico. Described as "a plant person's garden, much loved and experimental - work always in progress".
Substantial roof garden naturalised by plants well suited to a relatively exposed and sunny environment – roses, apple trees, herbs, wild flowers and grasses. Commanding views.
Originally known as the London Botanic Garden, featuring mulberry trees up to 300 years old, a variety of ornamental trees, a wooded walk with spring interest, lawns and well stocked borders.
Laid out by Humphry Repton in 1806, a military site in WW2, and now effectively a roof garden following the construction of an underground car park. Some unusual trees and lots of lavender give a somewhat modern Mediterranean feel.
Award-winning garden first laid out in the mid-19th century and redesigned after WWII. Judged the finest square garden in Chelsea in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
