Eastcote House and Gardens in Hillingdon has undergone a major transformation since my last visit. Given the recent heavy winds and rains, the volunteers did an excellent job of putting on a such a tidy display of late summer colour and topiary.

I savoured the garden from every angle, before making my
way towards the wilder parts of the gardens towards Long Meadow and the River Pinn.

There are some magnificent old trees in Long Meadow. I paused under the magnificent, sunlit canopy of the old Oak Tree below.
I returned to the house where old cars were on display for the Open House London weekend.

A quiet bench beckoned as I realised that I had missed the next 282 bus home.
A chance to enjoy the last of the dappled September sunshine under the gardens' trees.
Eastcote House and Gardens is open daily.
