Brown Hart Gardens

A visit to the architectural garden that was re-opened in 2007 as a public space after 20 years of closure and is in the initial stages of renovation. Situated on a terrace above Duke Street electricity sub-station, it has been described as the fullest flight of Edwardian baroque in Mayfair. Designed in 1903 by C Stanley Peach as an Italian garden, it replaced an earlier communal garden associated with the surrounding model housing for the working classes.
