On June 13-14, more than 200 private garden squares will take part in the Open Garden Squares Weekend, organised by the London Parks & Gardens Trust.
The majority of London's garden squares were created during the Georgian and Victorian eras. But unlike garden squares in other European capitals, our havens of wildlife were designed to be used and enjoyed and the properties that surround them continue to be some of the most desirable places to live in the capital.
Here are some of the perfect squares we'll be exploring this weekend.
