This three-acre garden square was built between 1811 and 1819. By 1820, the garden was laid out much as we see it today, with meandering paths through shrubberies, lawns, flowerbeds, a rose pergola, a croquet lawn, a grass tennis court and a children’s play area. Italian artist Agostino Aglio designed the garden with help from the Royal Horticultural Society, and the plantings and winding walks are different to those seen in most other squares. The square’s head gardener still resides at 'The Temple' - a Grecian-style lodge with Doric columns, built specifically for the gardener.
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.
