Queen’s Gate Gardens were created in the 1860s when a residential square was built on the site of former market gardens. Today's landscaping largely retains the original Victorian layout and the old mulberry and catalpa trees are believed to be at least 150 years old. Circles visible in the lawn mark WWII underground bomb shelters. A carpet of bluebells and blossom provide a real 'wow' factor in spring while the garden brings joy and a sense of community to its members all year round.
A garden in three sections, with the tranquil atmosphere of a woodland garden. Magnificent plane trees planted in 1870, now some of the tallest in London.
Formerly the back gardens of the surrounding Victorian villas, joined together to form a large communal garden by the Gunter Estate management. The clean microclimate has nourished some of the oldest and healthiest trees in London.
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.
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.
