Description:
Iverna Court has an award-winning tranquil garden, just yards from the bustle and noise of Kensington High Street. It is surrounded by grand Edwardian mansion blocks and the pretty stone-built Armenian Church of St Sarkis.
In 2005 the garden was completely re-landscaped after the erection of new railings in 2004.
The new garden includes a substantial water feature, a paved seating area with games table for chess and other games, a long oak pergola with scented climbers over a wide path suitable for the playing of boules, a raised central lawn and garden lighting.
The planting is now becoming more established and the hedging more mature.
The seven mature London plane trees create heavy shade and severe water problems. Automatic watering systems have been installed.
Activities:
By kind permission of the Trustees, garden visitors may also visit the Armenian Church (subject to last-minute church requirements).
Entrance:
South side entrance gate, opposite the church, 100m from High Street Kensington station (less by shortcut through Boots!)
