When we lived in a flat on Evering Road it was part of a huge terrace, and we didn't set foot in the garden once in 3 years, it was a grotty shade trap and was just too much agg to get down there, I always said it would be amazing if every garden in that quadrant was demarcated and instead of rarely used private gardens there would be one huge shared 'private' park, complete with mature oaks. Even if you never used it it would look amazing from the rooms at the back of the houses. I'm probably overestimating my fellow mans ability to play nice.
We rented a flat in Copenhagen and they had a similar thing.
Our new place is on Evering Road and has a balcony overlooking the private gardens at the back. We have no access to the one at the back of ours and just like most of the others we can see, looks like it’s never used. It’s a shame as they’re south facing.
I feel like my dream will become less and less likely as the money rolls in and the flats are turned back to houses, who will want to have a private garden and won't want to mingle with us scrotes... maybe something to consider after the bomb drops and we start to rebuild from scratch tho!
