The Garden

Stanley Crescent Garden, built between 1841 and 1860s, luckily retains its early Victorian paths, railings and character. Three large, open lawns are bordered by shrubberies and many old, rare and protected trees, and are separated by gravel paths including a broad one, terminating at the gated entrances onto Ladbroke Gardens to the north and Kensington Park Gardens to the south. A large mid 19th century urn stands at the centre of the garden. Large beds with evergreens fill the triangles formed by paths, and contain a spectacular array of species of both shrubs and perennials.

Head Gardener: Chris Ireson
