Lambeth Palace garden is open to the public on Saturday 27 March as part of the National Gardens Scheme.
Although the garden was halved in size to create Archbishop's Park in 1901 it is still the second largest private garden in London. The most significant changes took place during the last decade having been instigated by the wife of Archbishop Runcie.
The palace has been home to the Archbishop of Canterbury for 700 years and was the venue for the first Lambeth Conference. Next year it will host several millennium events.
Admission to the garden is £3 (OAP/Child £1) from 2 to 5.30pm. Entry is via the garden gates on Lambeth Palace Road. Teas will be available.
