About Lower Clapton Gardens

Lower Clapton is an area of mid-Victorian terraces sloping down to the R Lea. These gardens reflect their owner’s tastes and interests. 75 Mayola Road is a garden which has evolved over 50 years, featuring a woodland walk, Caribbean shed and mosaic patio, with a vegetable garden in the sunniest spot. No. 10 Almack Road is a long garden with architectural plants like trachycarpus palms and dracaenas, offset with York stone and London brick. A large pond encourages toads, newts and dragonflies. Next door at 8 Almack Road is a similar space but divided into two garden rooms: cool colours with grass and shrubs close to the house and a secluded hot garden at the far end, including warm colours, succulents and a greenhouse, with a large blue agave nicknamed Audrey.
