About Us
Protecting our Environment
Canbury Gardens is 14 1/2 acre park in the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames - KT2 5AW
The park has a fascinating history from feudal times when it was used as an area to graze animals and to cut turf for timber and fuel. In the 19th Century the grazing land was replaced by pits for gravel extraction and by 1887 the space was considered an eyesore and a park was proposed " the view from the river shall be a pleasant one and not, as at present, unsightly and obnoxious"
The gardens were designed by Henry Macaulay and were opened in 1890. In 1891 a former Mayor Charles Nuthall donated the bandstand which still sits proudly in the park today and is used throughout the summer with a series of Sunday afternoon concerts
