Barnsbury Group

Discover four contrasting spaces in Barnsbury’s Georgian squares. 57 Huntingdon Street is a secluded garden with birches, ferns, perennials, grasses, and container ponds that encourage wildlife. 2 Lonsdale Square is a charming, small cobblestoned garden with herbaceous beds and apple trees, structured with euonymus and yew hedges. Climbing roses and star jasmine add a delicious scent, while planters overflow with lavender and pansies. 5 Thornhill Grove is a secluded, brick-paved walled garden with perennials, various climbing and species roses, select shrubs, and shade planting. Barnsbury Wood is London’s smallest nature reserve, a hidden gem and one of Islington’s few sites of semi-mature woodland. It’s a tranquil oasis of wild flowers and massive trees, just minutes from Caledonian Road. Wildlife information available.
