Lord Leverhulme at The Hill (now Inverforth House). This part
of the garden is now in separate ownership to the house; for

stone carrying a timber pergola superstructure imitating a
Doric entablature. Brick pavement with stone balustrading.
North and south arms raised on western side over brick terrace
retaining walls forming continuous outbuildings with 3-light
square headed windows having concrete lintels. Western arm

terminated in a conservatory before Mawsons 1912 extensions.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the terraces were constructed using spoil
from the Hampstead Tube excavation. Excellent views. The
garden was divided when the house became a hospital; this part
of the garden is open to the public.
