Open Gardens on 20th & 27th July . . .


It's really the flowers and the lively juxtaposition of the hundreds of plants in a typically suburban garden which attracts people.

It is very easy to get to, via the Victoria line, or via Overground Rail. There's also lots of buses. The weather is set fair for Sunday the 20th, and . . .
