Discovering Hidden Gems: A Magical Garden in Finchley

In the bustling heart of London, tucked away in the back of my friend’s home, lies a hidden sanctuary that feels almost otherworldly. This charming little garden, often referred to as a ‘second’ garden, has captured my heart with its enchanting atmosphere and unexpected wildlife.

Originally intended to be a shared space among a handful of residents in Finchley, this garden might have faded into obscurity if not for my friend’s dedication. Over the years, they have poured countless hours into transforming this neglected plot into a verdant oasis, a labor of love that has truly paid off.

What caught me by surprise during my recent visit was not just the beauty of the garden itself, but the enchanting cast of characters that called it home. As we sat back and admired the tranquil surroundings, a delightful scene unfolded before our eyes. Four playful foxes, accompanied by at least one kit, frolicked through the foliage, their presence adding an element of magic to the already serene landscape.

This serene escape serves as a reminder of the beauty that can thrive in unexpected places. It’s proof that with a little care and vision, even a forgotten space can blossom into a delightful retreat. If you ever find yourself in Finchley, don’t forget to seek out these hidden gems—they may just leave you in awe, as this garden did for me.
