Eastcote House Gardens

Eastcote House Gardens is a peaceful yet welcoming park of local and historical importance. It lies immediately east of the historic Eastcote Village and is included in the conservation area.

Eastcote House Gardens, London in Bloom Park of the Year category winner 2014 has stood at the heart of Eastcote for over 500 years.

In August 2014 restoration of the site's Grade II Listed Stable building, Dovecote and Walled Garden started and all work was completed in June 2015.

The construction of a cafe, public toilets and a new car park was also undertaken as part of the £1.73m restoration project. These facilities are open daily.     

The restoration project was a joint venture involving Hillingdon Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Friends of Eastcote House Gardens.

Garden

Much of Eastcote House Gardens is grassland. Many fine old ornamental trees grace the landscape. The significance of the word 'gardens' in the name of the site is due mainly to the Walled Garden where horticultural expertise is displayed in the maintenance of shrubs, herbaceous borders and herb beds. An old orchard retains the tradition of past domestic use and Mulberry, Fig, Apples, Walnut and Medlar are featured.  A new orchard was planted in December 2011 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
