Collingham Gardens

Built between 1881 and 1888, the buildings on either side of the garden were designed by Ernest George and Peto, a firm that grafted Northern European urban motifs onto plainer Queen Anne style stock.

[6] Peto's original layout remains intact, incorporating wide lawns, curving gravel paths, and plane trees.

[12][13] Howard Carter gave his London address as 19b Collingham Gardens for most of the 1920s, and was likely renting part of his brother Samuel's home as a summer pied-à-terre.

[15] When reggae musician Bob Marley was arrested for cannabis possession in 1977, the address he gave to police was Collingham Gardens, Kensington.

[16] In 2016, English Heritage opened a "cold case review" concluding that Marley had given the address to keep police away from his actual home in Oakley Street.
