A spectacular London plane tree dominates this award-winning mid-Victorian garden, which is for the private use of residents only. Rare ornamental trees (wedding cake, handkerchief, tobacco and giant sequoias) feature alongside a wide variety of shrubs. Dating from 1873, the Square gets its name from a meadow in the Earl's Court Manor estate - Court Fields - which was demolished when the Underground was built. Perimeter railings have been reinstated (after the original railings were used in the war effort) together with a wildlife area and pond, some tropical beds, a native fruit tree orchard, play area and a Victorian arbour and gazebo.
Grade II* listed houses, representing the extreme point of late Victorian individualism, surround a communal garden laid out in simple, naturalistic style by leading Edwardian landscape designer Harold Peto.
A mature late-Victorian garden with 29 varieties of tree, and borders enlivened with new shrubs and plants. The square was built between 1880 and 1886 in the Domestic Revival style.
Edible and woodland garden, formerly a neglected patch of earth overrun with weeds and refuse. Plant sale, refreshments, activities for adults and children.
