As West Hampstead was developed, a series of private gardens were built behind the urban facades.
Compayne Open Space lies between Compayne and Canfield Gardens, NW6.
It is split into three main characters. A hard surfaced tennis court area is located to the west of the site, in the middle of the site an open grassed area with a few scattered trees and an attractive, well laid out community garden to the east.
This garden provides a private, secluded space in which to relax.
A number of young trees and shrubs have been planted along with climbing species around trellissing to provide important vertical habitat.
