West London Bowling Club, established in 1903, is the only Lawn Bowling Club in the borough. It was part of William St Quintin's progressive vision to provide sports and recreation in the back-lands of his Estate. For many years the Club produced champion bowlers and won awards for its garden. Unfortunately, the garden suffered a long period of neglect until 2015, when the Club's volunteers started work on restoring the areas around the Green, in addition to planting new roses and fruit trees. This restoration is ongoing following the pandemic.
Award-winning community kitchen garden transformed from a disused tennis court in 2009. Around 100 people use the 48 plots. The community garden celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2019.
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.
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.
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.
