Clarendon Fine Art Westbourne Grove
Clarendon Fine Art Westbourne Grove is a compact commercial gallery on a busy Notting Hill shopping street, focused on contemporary works, limited editions and sculpture.

Bernays Gardens
Bernays Gardens is a compact public garden in Stanmore, enclosed by high red-brick walls and shaded by mature trees.

Cambridge Gdns
Cambridge Gardens is a small riverside park in East Twickenham, set beside Richmond Bridge on the Middlesex bank of the Thames.

The draw is the river frontage and the easy, local feel.
