Abstract:Written by the award-winning historian and landscape architect Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, Lost Gardens of London celebrates the evanescence of London’s vast and varied garden legacy. From private gardens and humble allotments to extravagant palace grounds and pleasure gardens, the book explores the ephemeral gardens of the capital, dating from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. In this evocative book, Longstaffe-Gowan reminds us just how precious gardened green space is, revealing how gardens have contributed to the quality of life and well-being of city-dwellers for hundreds of years. The publication of this book accompanies an eponymous exhibition at the Garden Museum, London, curated by the author. The exhibition, the first in over twenty years to focus on the history of London’s gardens, will run from 23 October 2024 to 2 March 2025
