Cedar Park Gardens, SW19

Place Name

This street was developed in 2005 and named after the cedar trees that that were still standing from the garden designed by the eminent landscaper Gertrude Jekyll for a house called By Caesar’s Camp – originally called The Round – that used to occupy the site. The house was owned by Sir George Stegman Gibb, managing director of what is now London Underground. Jekyll (her brother was a friend of Robert Louis Stevenson) has been described as “a premier influence in garden design” by British and American gardening enthusiasts.
