What is London Open Gardens?
London Open Gardens is celebrating 25 years of unique access to gardens and hidden green spaces across the capital on 8 and 9 June.
This much-loved event began with volunteers’ passion to open up iconic but locked London squares in the west, and has grown to embrace gardens across central London including exquisite roof spaces, historic institutions, community allotments and reclaimed and rewilded urban oases.
