British front gardens
While the nostalgic idea of front gardens - the portion of land between the street and the front of the house - may be associated with vibrant flowerbeds and manicured hedges in idyllic, leafy streets, this series of photographs attempts to capture the overlooked and neglected spaces that contribute to the character of London's neighbourhoods.
These photographs invite you to reconsider the romanticised notion of the British garden and appreciate the diversity of landscapes that exist within our urban communities. The phrase "front garden" is as likely to mean a narrow strip of paving, a stored trailer, a dumped fridge, a concrete ornament, or no space at all, with the front door opening straight onto the pavement.
