Queen's Park. In 1879 the Royal Agricultural Society set up their annual show ground on the slope below the Brondesbury ridge. The first year the show opened it was very very muddy. Then the ground of Queen's Park Rangers. Following public pressure to open a park on the land it was taken over by the City of London and given to them by the Ecclesiastical Commission. This was helped by a bequest from William Wards. Following an Act of Parfliament in 1886 it was laid out and named for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubildee. 30 acre park with tennis courts, a pitch and putt course, a playground and a bandstand in the centre. There are London planes, with expanses of grass, and seasonal planting. The garden in the south-east corner has lawns and neat circular and crescent beds - clipped yew cones, a tree-of- heaven and old hawthorn provide structure, and borders around the edges with roses, philadelphus and cherry. . The beds are have pelargoniums, fuchsias, canna lilies, castor oil plants, begonias and nicotianas. A traditional 'shield bed' raised at an angle is planted with a topical design
