These public gardens, along with the Terrace Gardens, were once part of the grounds of three riverside mansions: Buccleuch House, Lansdowne House and Cardigan House, formerly the homes of the Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquess of Lansdowne and the Earl of Cardigan.

The first two were acquired by the Richmond Vestry in 1886 for £30,000 and the grounds were then landscaped by Sir Frederick, later Lord, Leighton and opened to the public the following year. Part of the gardens of Cardigan House was added in 1962.

Buccleuch House, on the riverside, was originally called Montagu Villa, having been built for George, Duke of Montagu; it passed on his death to his son-in-law the Duke of Buccleuch. The large Georgian house was demolished in 1938 - as were several others - with the widening of the Petersham Road. The riverside gardens were added to the public open space and this lawn is a popular spot for both local people and visitors.

Buccleuch House, one of the many publicly accessible gardens, is in its own way worth a visit, a detour from the ✅🚲—tour
