About 1 Belton Close

Features in the garden include pieces of decorative metalwork rescued from Brighton’s West Pier, glaucous planting to complement the black metal cladding of the house extension and ‘spiky corner’, a collection of agaves and other large but sharp succulents.

This city garden is one of the smaller gardens in the NGS so please use pre-booked 1 hour slots and be aware that we may not be able to allow entry to those arriving without a booking. The garden includes a deep pond, a water rill to step over and a couple of small changes of level so please take care, especially with children

Pre-booking is essential due to the garden’s small size: 12 tickets per hour.
