This blog is devoted to the secret treasures of London. If you've done the big tourist stuff and you're looking for something a little more quirky or quiet then I hope you'll find some inspiration here. I'm constantly seeking out new gems so please get in touch if you have some you'd like to share.
While I get on with exploring gardens in order to be able to share the best ones with you there's an opportunity for you to do some exploring of your own. The National Gardens Scheme (NGS) allows you access to private gardens with entrance fees being donated to charity. There's usually a cup of tea or glass of wine on offer and it's a lovely way to socialise with like-minded and green-fingered folk and get some inspiration. Go to the NGS website and use the garden search function to check out what's open near you: http://www.ngs.org.uk/ And for those living in London there's a further chance to see what goes on behind closed garden gates with the Open Garden Squares weekend (8 & 9 June 2013) organised by the London Parks & Gardens Trust. http://www.opensquares.org/
