Have you ever wondered what’s behind those hedges and locked gates that keep riffraff out of the many private garden squares in London? If so, then this special weekend is what you’ve been waiting for — they will be open to the public — tickets range from £12 to £15.
Here’s an amazing list of over 200 of them spread across all 27 boroughs of London:

Not Square?
The Dull Men’s Club wishes to point out, as dull men like to measure things, that not all of these ‘garden squares’ are actually square. Many are rectangles. There is at least one oval. There’s even a trapezoid.
Eaton Rectangle
Grosvenor Oval
Cleveland Trapezoid
Bryanston Rectangle
Gordon Rectangle
