Huge thank you to the volunteers from Macquarie who tidied up 50 metres of dead hedge, hammering in 70 wooden poles and rebuilding the hedge stacks. They also stripped and varnished wooden garden furniture.

Visit our hidden oasis of greenery in the city. Walk in our woodland, sit around our lawn surrounded by flower beds. Relax. Discover our meadow, orchard, butterfly garden and wildlife pond. Enjoy tea and cake in our garden house.

Weekend tickets are available for this year’s London Open Gardens. With your Weekend Ticket you can also visit our local Quill Street Allotments, and Arvon Road Allotments on the other side of the railway line from Olden Garden, as well as many other gardens not normally open to the public. Book your tickets in advance, to enter a world of secret and historic London gardens.

A huge thank you to all who came! Visitors from Islington and beyond enjoyed home-made cakes and tea on the lawn, and drinks from the bar, in beautiful sunshine. Music groups played throughout the afternoon. A special thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who made cakes and helped on the day, ensuring our music festival was a great success!

Bring your family and friends for an afternoon of music in Olden Garden – in the woodland and on the lawn. Bar, bagels, tea and cakes available all afternoon.
