Large garden centre recomm - N/NE London
Hi
I recently moved to England so dont know much about the names and quality of the garden centres. I am looking for a decent sized/large garden centre with a big range of plants and pots, and good prices, as opposed to something like B&Q or a small city garden centre. I live in Islington, but willing to travel out say 20km to find one, but closer the better. I'd appreciate any recommendations of such garden centres in the North/ North East of London. thanks Jeremy |

There is the Camden Garden Centre which has a decent choice but is expensive. I spent a bit too much money there today. http://www.camdengardencentre.co.uk/ There is also this lot who I have not used. http://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/ There is also a small garden centre near Dalston Kingsland http://www.londontown.com/LondonInfo...n_Centre/b09d/ Again not tried this one but some of the local gardens open for the NGS and are very nice so I imagine it does a decent local trade. Alternatively get yourself along to Crews Hill north of Enfield which is solid garden centres and nurseries from one end to the other. A decent choice and much cheaper than in town. You can literally make a day of going from one end to the other of the main road which has all the garden centres on it. There is plenty of parking space but it gets a bit crazy at weekends. There are also direct trains from Essex Road / Highbury and Islington / Finsbury Park during the week or Kings Cross / Finsbury Park at weekends. The weekend service is a bit awful at present due to regular engineering works. HTH -- Paul C |

thanks for your tips. Crews Hill sounds useful then.

writes thanks for your tips. Crews Hill sounds useful then. Depends where you live. It is well known here, although I don't go there often, as I spend too much money when I do. There are several large concerns there as well as the local ones but you will soon find out which is which. -- June Hughes |
