The Garden

Warwick Square is an award-winning Grade II-listed historic garden square, first laid out in the early 1840s by Thomas Cubitt. It won gold awards in London in Bloom from 2015 to 2021, and won Best Small Park 2022. Judges described how “the sheer diversity of species will be enough to give the casual user enjoyment in the choice of flower, leaf form and scent, while the horticulturalist will be delighted by the vast array of unusual and specialist plants which have been carefully sourced... A gardeners’ delight – a structured hotchpotch from the everyday to the unusual and exotic".  A silver trophy in the Large Private Squares section was awarded in the London Garden Squares Competition 2022.  This is an all-season garden comprising a rose garden, formal bedding and lawn area with a mix of shrubs, herbaceous plants and seasonal ephemerals for colour, interest and fragrance.

Head Gardener: Sarah Syborn
