Sophisticated outdoor living for N1. Alex Fitton and the team at Alex Fitton Gardens transform Islington’s historic courtyards and terrace gardens into architectural masterpieces.

Urban Elegance: Garden Design for Islington Townhouses

Islington is defined by its stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture, where outdoor space is a premium. Whether you are looking to renovate a classic “long-thin” garden in Canonbury or create a minimalist lightwell in Barnsbury, our designs are crafted to enhance the unique character of N1.

Under Alex Fitton’s direction, we specialise in “The Islington Aesthetic”—a perfect balance of clean structural lines, high-spec hard landscaping, and soft, ethereal planting that brings life to the city.
