BEDFORD PARK
Turnham Green
London
Building started in 1875 and it is often claimed as "the first garden suburb" . The street layout is fairly conventional but the inclusion in it's development of existing greenery and community facilities make this a reasonable view. Bedford Park is notable for the "Queen Anne" and "Old English" architecture of Norman Shaw and Voysey's Tower House. The estate is a mixture of large detached houses and more modest homes. The decorative gates and fencing make for picturesque street scenes.
The larger houses are well conserved; however some of the more modest cottages have lost elements of their original character.

BRENTHAM GARDEN SUBURB
Ealing

Founded in 1901 this was the first co- partnership suburb. The early development was conventional Edwardian terraces but by 1907 the influence of Parker & Unwin led to street planning with communal areas and twittens according to GS principles together with attractive Arts & Crafts architecture from a variety of architects.
Conservation Area since 1971 with Article 4 Direction made in 1976 - Planning Authority - Ealing Council
Most of the setting and buildings are well conserved although some alterations have been made. It remains an attractive garden suburb with plenty of interest for the visitor.

THE SUNRAY ESTATE
Denmark Hill
North Dulwich
South London
Building started in 1920 on land leased by the Dulwich Estate in response to the " Homes fit for Heroes " campaign after WW1. The houses were intended for " generally the poorer middle classes " .
Notable for it's lovely setting with tree lined roads and open green spaces with archways and alleyways that linked cul-de-sacs to the main routes. The attractive cottage style architecture had steeply pitched roofs and small paned casement windows. The hedged boundaries in the generous rear gardens gave the views from the houses a rural character.
Conservation Area designated 2009. Planning Authority Southwark Council
The loss of hedged rear boundaries and modern replacement windows has compromised the character in some parts of the estate but it remains an attractive garden suburb.

TOWER GARDENS ESTATE ( White Hart Lane Estate )
Tottenham

After the publication of Howard's " Tomorrow-peaceful path to real reform " Samuel Montagu donated £10,000 to purchase land and build low density housing in a garden suburb setting.
