With The Bedford Estates

London Open Gardens

This year marks the 26th year of London Open Gardens, an annual event that offers unique access to over one hundred hidden green spaces not normally open to the public. In partnership with the Bedford Estates, The Montague on the Gardens is delighted to offer visitors of the London Open Gardens Weekend an Afternoon Tea Takeaway to enjoy as a picnic in the exclusive setting of Montague Gardens, located behind the iron wrought gates adjacent to the Montague on the Gardens Hotel. 

About Montague street gardens

Montague Street Gardens is an historic secret garden at the heart of the Bedford Estates, and is one of ten squares in the elegant Bloomsbury area. Bloomsbury is famous for its formal garden squares which are overlooked by the many period properties that line its leafy streets. Once a cobbled mews of stables and carriage houses, this private garden stands behind magnificent wrought iron gates and features a number of herbaceous borders, formal lawns and specimen trees - cared for by Head Gardener, Jo Desborough. The garden also contains sculptures and beehives that produce award-winning honey.
