Edwardes Square, Private garden square in Kensington, London, United Kingdom.

The three-acre garden contains rolling lawns, mature trees, serpentine paths, extensive flower beds, wooded areas and an iron rose pergola.

Built between 1811 and 1820, this late Georgian square features a Greek Temple lodge constructed specifically to house the resident gardener.

Notable residents included G.K. Chesterton, Roger Bannister, Italian poet Ugo Foscolo, and comedian Frankie Howerd who lived at number 27 until 1992.

The garden opens to visitors on Sundays from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with refreshments available and wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the grounds.

The garden's distinctive layout from 1818 incorporated informal winding paths and natural groupings, differing from the formal designs common in that period.
