Secret Gardens of London

London is a city of hidden gardens, a place where few ever glimpse the colourful secrets behind the sober townhouse facades. But the gardens are there, infinite in their variety, and beautifully revealed on the pages of this book. These gardens go beyond convention; they range from the large, classical and formal to tiny jewels that run riot with every imaginable colour. There are gardens on roofs and gardens in basements, gardens with water, English cottage gardens and modern gardens presenting sculpture outdoors. There are gardens of artists and gardens of practical enthusiasts, collectors’ gardens, passionate plantsmen’s gardens, gardens restored, revived or reclaimed.
