Enjoy nature in the heart of the city

Spring has well and truly sprung. The blossoms are blooming, the birds are singing and it certainly feels like summer is on its way. And what better spot to enjoy the longer days and mild spring weather than from the comfort of a beautiful secret garden? Your own little oasis of calm in the heart of the city.

Whether you’re in town for a few days or a few months, these secret garden spots ensure you have a safe and secluded space to spend quality time with family and friends this summer in London. From sun-kissed rooftop terraces to luscious green lawns complete with pergolas and BBQs, here are ten little patches of paradise in the heart of Britain’s bustling capital.

Colville Terrace IV

Notting Hill

Colville Terrace IV is a delightful lower ground-floor flat in picturesque Notting Hill. This charming two-bedroom apartment welcomes up to four guests with a bright, light and airy interior and that most precious of London home features – a garden.

Ossington Street

Notting Hill

Taking the term ‘hygge’ to new heights, Ossington Street in Notting Hill is a stylish sanctuary. We especially love the luscious back garden, complete with a sun-kissed wooden deck and vibrant beach chairs - the perfect spot for Aperol Spritzes in the sunshine.

Alwyne Place

Islington

Grand, majestic and entirely unexpected: the garden at Alwyne Place might just be the pick of the bunch. Nestled down an idyllic Islington street, the home’s unassuming exterior belies the magnificent maze-like grounds you’ll find tucked away around the back.

Clifton Hill

St John's Wood

Boasting lots of lawn space, comfy garden furniture and even its very own trampoline, the garden at the lovely Clifton Hill is a paradise for families. Let the little ones bounce away their energy, while you sip glasses of wine on the flag-stone patio without having to keep checking where the kids have gone.
