About

Architect

Terry Pawson is an important architect whose opera house in Linz is a masterpiece of tenacity and geometry. His buildings are exquisitely proportioned and thoroughly composed. He was resident in Wimbledon for some decades where he built some important smaller projects including a house for himself at Arthur Road

Sculpture

Garden Hall is the home of "Grace" a 1m high bronze angel by Annie Henry (previous Wimbledon resident)

Use

Garden Hall is very well used, with regular classes and meetings and also with a modern kitchen for events. In winters it is also one of the venues for the Wimbledon Night Shelter. Booking details are on the St Mary's website and on the link in this entry.
