We have some wonderful new additions to the gardens! On top of all of the glorious greenery and flowers, we're thrilled to have some beautiful new wooden signs placed around the lawn and beds. The signs were created by one of our residents, Amber, and her sister - thank you so much! Amber was also out in the gardens recently, equipped with a camera! We're sharing her wonderful photos here, for everyone to enjoy. If you've taken some photos of the Penn Road of the gardens a

If you’ve walked through the gardens recently, you’ve probably noticed it already, but spring is returning to the gardens, and there’s a lot to see! The hellebores are out in force at the moment, they are a recent addition but are already becoming a firm favourite! The crocuses are making themselves known too, they're popping up all around the gardens and are a joy to see.

Our Monthly Gardening Sundays have become one of the nicest ways to spend a morning with neighbours. Everyone’s welcome — no experience needed!

Thank you to everyone who came along to this year’s Penn Road Summer Party, what a brilliant afternoon it was! Sunshine, music, laughter, and neighbours from all around Holloway came together to make it one of our best celebrations yet.

Summer brings long evenings, chatter from the benches, and the sound of neighbours sharing food and laughter at the annual Penn Road Summer Party. As autumn arrives, the leaves turn gold and drift down onto the pavements, giving the street that wonderful warm glow. Even in winter, when the trees
