A lush urban garden designed by Freddie Strickland Gardens with various purple and white flowers, shrubs, and green plants near a light-colored wall and stone pathway.

Islington Townhouse

Created for a young and enthusiastic first-time homeowner, this garden is designed as a welcoming space to cook, eat, and relax with friends. Every element encourages social connection and outdoor living, transforming a compact London plot into a vibrant extension of the home.

A bespoke concrete outdoor kitchen and bench form the heart of the design, carefully positioned to encourage conversation and shared experiences. The kitchen includes a fridge, sink, and generous storage, combining practicality with sculptural simplicity.

Reclaimed granite kerbstone steps and powder coated steel raised beds introduce robust texture and a sense of permanence, while a colourful and layered planting scheme softens the harder materials and brings the garden to life through the seasons.

A new staircase leads to an upper terrace, creating another inviting seating area and a fresh perspective on the garden below. Despite its urban setting, the space feels like a green retreat. Calm, comfortable, and full of personality.

Thoughtful details, including integrated storage for bikes and bins, ensure that every inch of this small terraced garden works hard without compromising beauty or atmosphere.

“Freddie was a delight to work with from start to finish…

He patiently listened to me ramble about flowers I had no knowledge of, and then took me round to see his interpretations at a show. He then planned an organised my entire garden project which has turned a white slab into exactly the flowery meadow I described to him a year ago.

I couldn't recommend Freddie more highly!”
