About this Event
The Save Avery Hill Winter Garden campaign is hosting guided tours of the building. Come and join us to learn more about this remarkable site.

The Winter Garden was part of a splendid mansion owned by the Victorian entrepreneur John Thomas North. North made his fortune by exporting fertiliser from Chile. The London County Council acquired the site in July 1902 and currently, the University of Greenwich maintains the Winter Garden.
