The South London Botanical Institute is a small botanic garden, library and herbarium founded in 1910 in a Victorian house at Tulse Hill, south London, its compact plot holding over 500 labelled species in themed beds. A dawn redwood, the deciduous conifer once thought extinct before its rediscovery in China, is among its plantings. The garden opens on set days and welcomes visitors; opening is limited, so check ahead.
