After the construction of a garden studio this typical London garden was badly in need of a redesign. The children had long outgrown any use for a lawn and the family needed an access pathway between the house and the studio.

South facing, quiet despite its central location, the garden now provides an escape from city life with a simple, buff York stone terrace near the house providing dining and seating areas leading to a semi-circular gravel pathway cutting through exuberantly planted, predominantly green and white borders. 

Climbing, shrub and rambling roses, tall bearded irises, perennials, bulbs and grasses punctuated by Yew domes create both seasonal change and year round structure, blur the boundaries with the neighbouring gardens and create privacy for the studio
