Market Road Gardens

Introduction

The original formal layout of the gardens was replaced by serpentine paths after the site, together with Market Road Playground, was acquired by Islington Borough Council in 1905. The garden was re-landscaped around 1990 but retains many of the C19th London plane trees.
