Description:

Eccleston Square takes its name from the Cheshire village of Eccleston, part of the estates of the landowners, the Dukes of Westminster. Originally a low-lying swamp, which was drained in the early 17th century, it was planned as a three-acre square in 1828 by Thomas Cubitt (1788–1855).

Over the past 20 years, the square’s garden committee has replanted the whole garden to give year-round interest. There are many specialist collections, including ceanothus, camellias, and climbing and shrub roses.

In 2006, a Wollemi pine was donated to the square. The species was thought to have been extinct until found recently in Australia.

Eccleston Square is proud to have won several prizes over the past few years.
