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 to encourage wildlife. 36 Thornhill Square, a 120ft garden with a country atmosphere, is filled with scented roses, clematis, specimen trees and perennials and a new pond attracts wildlife. Bonsai and planters surround the patio. 2 Lonsdale Square is a charming small cobblestoned garden with herbaceous beds and apple trees, structured with box and yew hedges. Climbing roses and star jasmine add delicious scent; planters overflow with lavender and pansies. Barnsbury Wood is London's smallest nature reserve, a hidden gem and one of Islington's few sites of semi-mature woodland, a tranquil oasis of wild flowers and massive trees minutes from Caledonian Road. Wildlife information available. The gardens reveal what can be achieved with the right plants in the right conditions, surmounting difficulties of dry walls and shade.
