Queen Mary stopped off there once. She was on her way to see the rhododendrons in Dulwich Park (which she did annually, according to what I’ve read) and asked her driver to stop so she could speak to the owner. 

Queen Mary? When was that?

Surely the prefabs must have been built after the war, so after 1945?

And surely it would have taken some time for the garden to mature?

And the person who lives there now and is such a keen gardener  would hardly have been born then?

Agree the garden is always a delight, old school planting. Queen Mary didn't die until 1953 so possibly she spoke to original tenants which I've always assumed, perhaps incorrectly, to be current tenant's parents? I'm also glad the new builds do not detract in any way from the garden. It must be one of the last lived in prefabs in London.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
    • Used John to plaster the hallway ceiling in my house, he arrived on time and did the job to a very high standard. He tidied up after himself (my wife was super impressed) . The price was as agreed and I could not recommend John enough. I would 100% use his skills again.
