The Garden

Wilton Crescent Garden is a small, tranquil, crescent-shaped garden, a stone's throw from Belgrave Square. Thomas Cundy, the Grosvenor Estate surveyor, added Wilton Crescent to the original 1821 Wyatt plan for Belgravia. Described as an Arts Garden, the space this year features modern sculptures by Conrad Shawcross which mix with with imposing cathedral-like London plane trees. The garden was honoured with a Gold London in Bloom award in 2024.

Head Gardener: Hugo Marks
