Henry Tate Gardens, Streatham Common

Park Hill was built in c.1830 by William Leaf, a banker and silk merchant.
Henry Tate, the sugar magnate, lived here from 1885. A philanthropist and art collector, he opened his gallery here to the public once a year and later donated most of his collection to the Tate Gallery, which he established in London.
St Michael's Convent later occupied the site. It now consists of private residences.
The guided tour around the grounds will last approximately 50 minutes. Attendees are asked to respect the privacy of residents and to follow the tour guide's route.
