London style gardens can be said to be the pinnacle of the art of landscaping, and the reason for this is that both in terms of the importance that the British attach to the practice and design of private garden landscaping, and in terms of its vast landscape character, London style gardens are the favorite artistic expression of most gardeners.
Whether it's the country park of a London manor house or the lush, flowery landscape in front of the house, both are English gardens. London garden construction was inspired by the poetic bright landscapes of the seventeenth-century French painters Poussin, Claude Lorraine and the Scandinavian landscape painters, as well as the lyrical idylls of the English poet Poubert and the influence of classical Chinese gardens.
In most cases, London gardens do not have large areas of hard paving, and in order to show a more natural "soft" landscape effect, English gardens will have a rich variety of flowers and plants as the main landscape elements. Leave a trace of the plant's natural growth and make it a part of nature.
