Lower Clapton private gardens open to the public
Lower Clapton is an area of mid-Victorian terraces sloping down to the River Lea.
These gardens reflect their owner’s tastes and interests.
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.
77 Rushmore Rd has a fruit and vegetable garden and wildlife pond and was a runner up in Yorkshire Gold's 'Great British Garden 2018'.
Ticket price gives admission to all three gardens.
