Eaton Square has six gardens constituting just under six acres, and is named after the Duke of Westminster's principal home, Eaton Hall in Cheshire. The south central garden is open, with access opposite 42 Eaton Square.
The Grosvenor Estate’s master builder Thomas Cubitt started laying out the six gardens that form the square in 1826. Today, the garden - which won Gold in London in Bloom 2024 - is a peaceful retreat of formal lawns and shady pathways. Mixed borders around two formal lawns are divided by a shady enclave, and formal raised beds provide seasonal colour. There are also sundials and water features by sculptor David Harber. Famous former residents at this prestigious address include Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and actress Vivien Leigh.
Prize-winning early Victorian garden restored in 1997 to its 1867 layout. A small garden with rope-edged tiles and some unique specimens of London plane trees. Former residents include poet Matthew Arnold and author Mary Shelley.
Originally known as the London Botanic Garden, featuring mulberry trees up to 300 years old, a variety of ornamental trees, a wooded walk with spring interest, lawns and well stocked borders.
Laid out by Humphry Repton in 1806, a military site in WW2, and now effectively a roof garden following the construction of an underground car park. Some unusual trees and lots of lavender give a somewhat modern Mediterranean feel.
An addition by Thomas Cundy to the original 1821 Wyatt plan for Belgravia. Planted with a white theme. Modern sculpture mixes with imposing London plane trees.
