Garden Details
Belgrave Square Garden
The Garden
George Basevi designed and Thomas Cubitt planted this 4.5 acre Belgravia centrepiece in 1826, to act as a landscape for the square’s grand new houses. Influenced by a Loudon design, the square’s layout remains faithful to its original network of paths and retains some of the original planting in the form of mature planes. A central path curves through pergolas overhung with wisteria and roses.Four summerhouses ('the temples') have been added around the inner path. Other additions include the tennis court, children’s playground, outdoor gym and most recently an urban forest school which is regularly used by the local schools. The garden has an immersive wildflower meadow which includes innovations to increase and capture data on biodiversity. The garden’s statuary, inside and around the perimeter, includes a collection of modern figurative work, reflecting the square’s international nature. In 2024, the garden won the prestigious 'Best Overall Small Garden (Closed)' category in the London In Bloom awards. Access is through the south gate opposite 33 Belgrave Square.
