A Hidden Oasis in the Heart of London

Designed by Marcus Barnett Studio in collaboration with David Collins Studio, The Secret Garden has been conceived as a quintessential English garden with a contemporary twist. Carefully curated planting includes elegant white wisteria, hydrangeas, irises, hellebores, ornamental grasses, and flowering crab-apple trees, creating a landscape that evolves beautifully throughout the summer season. At its centre, a tranquil water feature provides a soothing soundtrack, while elegant parasols, canopies, and luxurious seating invite guests to linger from sunny afternoons through to warm summer evenings. As daylight fades, bespoke cashmere throws by Johnston’s of Elgin add an extra touch of comfort, allowing guests to enjoy the garden long after sunset.
