Garden Details
Carlton House Terrace - Waterloo Place West Garden
The Garden
This garden was developed on part of the former royal garden of St James’s Palace, when Regency architect John Nash built the surrounding Carlton House Terrace. Since 1832 it has been managed by the Crown Estate Paving Commission. The garden underwent restoration in 2008 and its 19th century character has been retained with serpentine paths, trees and shrubs. There are handsome railings and a number of statues, including a memorial to Battle of Britain RAF commander Sir Keith Park. The original path network has been reinstated and the garden has been replanted to give a woodland feel.Alex Jackson: Head Gardener
