Alexandra Palace Garden Centre & Café
Alexandra Palace Garden Centre & Café, Muswell Hill, North London
Alexandra Palace is our garden centre in Muswell Hill, North London. Located on the southern side of an expansive and beautifully landscaped park, the site has a proud horticultural history spanning almost 150 years. Previously a nursery, it opened as a garden centre in 1986.
We are well known locally for our extensive range of outdoor plants, specialising in a variety of climbers, including clematis, roses, and jasmine. Alongside a vibrant selection of flowering herbaceous perennials and shrubs for both sunny and shady spaces, you’ll find specimen plants such as fruit trees, bamboos, and, especially in the spring, magnolias.
Step inside our lush houseplant area, where you’ll feel as if you’ve wandered into a small but perfectly formed jungle. Here, you’ll discover a mix of unusual varieties and timeless favourites. A houseplant makes a wonderful gift, but if you’re looking for something extra special, explore our carefully curated range of giftware, stationery, gift wrapping and stylish home accessories.
To complement your gardening needs, Alexandra Palace Garden Centre also stocks an impressive selection of compost, pots, garden furniture, barbecues, trellis, hoses, gravel, cobbles, and sundries—everything you need to create and maintain your perfect outdoor space.
In need of some light refreshment? The Glasshouse Café, located next to our houseplant area, provides a welcoming space to enjoy coffee, tea and delicious cakes & pastries. There’s also a spacious outdoor roof terrace, open when the weather is warm, with views over the plant area, perfect for relaxing while contemplating your next purchase.
We welcome dogs on leads.
Free parking is available in our car park for 90 minutes. If you’d like to stay longer, please enter your car registration number into the iPad by the café.
