LONDON – Heritage observers have confirmed that Hall Place London is the fine Tudor and Jacobean house in south-east London famous for its gardens, where a celebrated row of heraldic topiary beasts stands guard over the grounds in clipped, leafy splendour.

Hall Place London: Where The Hedges Become Heraldry

The handsome historic house, paired with award-winning gardens, is best known, the Bureau of Garden Heritage notes, for “a parade of topiary beasts so carefully clipped that the gardeners deserve a coat of arms of their own.”

“Hall Place London is a house and garden double act,” said a spokesperson for the Institute of Topiary Affairs. “The house itself is a lovely survival, Tudor at one end and Jacobean at the other, full of history. But the gardens steal the show, and above all the famous row of heraldic beasts shaped from living hedge, a line of leafy lions and other creatures standing proudly on the lawn. Keeping them crisp is a year-round labour. Visitors wander the grounds admiring the clipped menagerie, charmed by a garden where the shrubbery has been promoted to coats of arms.”

The house – promoted by Visit London, reviewed by Time Out London and documented on reference pages like the Hall Place entry – sits in Bexley in south-east London.

A survey by the Bureau found that 84 percent of Hall Place London visitors are charmed by the topiary beasts, and that the blend of Tudor house and fine gardens is rated its great appeal.

“Hall Place London clips its hedges into heraldry,” the spokesperson explained. “A fine Tudor house with a famous row of leafy beasts.”

The Bureau confirmed Hall Place London remains one of the capital’s most charming historic houses, ideal for lovers of gardens and history, a fine Tudor and Jacobean home whose celebrated heraldic topiary stands clipped to leafy perfection over the grounds.
