Eastcote House Gardens is a beautiful, tranquil, award-winning open green space with a Tudor dovecote, stables and walled garden, all of which are Grade II listed.
Although the Gardens are owned by the London Borough of Hillingdon, they are maintained by a volunteer group – the Friends of Eastcote House Gardens, who were awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2016.
Working with Hillingdon Council, the Friends made a successful bid for National Lottery funding of £1.3 million to restore the Tudor buildings in 2014.
Since 2008 the Friends have transformed the gardens into a series of different areas, including:
- the Jubilee Orchard, planted to celebrate the 2012 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
- a magnificent Prairie Garden
- the Old Orchard with its stunning azalea bed and rockery
- replanting of the boundaries, adding thousands of spring bulbs including a magnificent drift of snowdrops.
We have recently created a Jubilee Bed to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Eastcote House Gardens is linked via a footbridge across the River Pinn to Long Meadow, which is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation also maintained by the volunteers.
Information leaflets, activities, walks and wildlife records are all available on this website.
The Gardens are open every day of the year – please come and visit!
