"Ah me! love can not be cured by herbs!" (c) Rosmead Gardens

Open Garden Squares Weekend is a magical two-day event, where community gardens and private squares throughout London took place on 8-9 June, 2013.
Rosmead Garden is one of the most beautiful of the garden squares in Notting Hill, part of the Ladbroke Estate which also includes Arundel Gardens, St John’s Gardens and the largest – Ladbroke Square.
 Thomas Allom’s plan of 1823 provided for generous communal gardens, organised in a concentric layout of crescents. The outer crescents date from the 1860s.
Apparently this is the garden used in the film Notting Hill,  into which Anna and William break at night (“Whoops a daisy!”)
