Seen on a misty and murky November afternoon, Compton Terrace Garden was originally for the private use of residents of Compton Terrace, which is to the left here. Compton Terrace was completed in 1831. In the 20th century, maintenance was transferred to Islington Borough Council and the gardens opened as a public amenity.
