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.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
