The gardens here are named after the family home of Miss Jane Benyon of Gledhow Hall in Yorkshire, who married landowner Captain Robert Gunter in the 19th century.
This area was originally market gardens and there was once a thriving village located between Gledhow and Bina Gardens.
Originally separate back gardens for the surrounding Victorian villas, these gardens were joined to form a communal garden by the Gunter Estate management. The clean microclimate has nourished some of the oldest and healthiest trees in London. There is a range of interesting wildlife, including a variety of rare bird species.
