Description:

Recently given an award as London's best large private garden square, Crescent Garden is a 3-acre communal garden, just off Warrington Crescent. It is surrounded by stucco-fronted houses dating from around 1865, including a Grade II-listed balconied terrace.

In the 1970s local residents defeated plans by the Church Commissioners to turn the garden into communal car parking. Today it has lawns, interesting trees and many unusual plants and shrubs. There is also a children’s play area.

The area was bombed in WW1, when enemy planes mistook the Little Venice canals for the Thames.
