Collingham Gardens is a garden square in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London. Built between 1881 and 1888, the buildings on either side of the garden were designed by Ernest George and Peto, a firm that grafted Northern European urban motifs onto plainer Queen Anne style stock.The street Collingham Gardens forms three sides of the quadrangle; the south side is part of the north side of Bolton Gardens. It intersects with Braham Gardens, Harrington Gardens and Wetherby Gardens. The communal garden itself is only accessible to residents of the surrounding townhouses, but is open to the general public during Open Garden Squares Weekend.
