Pinner Village Gardens were laid out at the same time as the development of the 1920s suburb. The park incorporates some notable earlier oak trees. The traces of ridge and furrow can be seen in the south part of the park and is a reminder of the previous use of the land for farming from medieval times. This is the nearest surviving to central London. The view is from the park entrance on Whittington Way. There is a Friends of Pinner Village Gardens who have a Facebook page - see https://www.facebook.com/friendsofpinnervillagegardens/
