City Garden in South West London +

A Private Retreat in the Heart of the City

Tucked away in South West London, this elegant garden — designed for Patrick Collins — is a space that effortlessly shifts from peaceful retreat to lively entertaining spot. Framed by pleached Parrotia and multi-stem Amelanchier, the garden feels cocooned in greenery, with soft yew hedging wrapping the space in calm.

Thoughtfully placed stone walls carve out different zones — inviting moments to lounge, talk, or simply pause — while doubling as extra seating when guests arrive. Vande Moortel paving keeps things clean and contemporary, balanced by pale limestone gravel and warm steel accents that bring the sunken seating area to life.
