Garden Centres & Nurseries in Crews Hill, Enfield

Last updated 6 October 2026.

Crews Hill is not really a place people live. It is a mile or so of road in the far north of Enfield, between the top of the A10 and the M25, where around twenty garden-retail businesses sit side by side. Most of London’s garden centres are single sites serving a borough. Crews Hill is a cluster — you park once and walk between nurseries, which is why people drive from across north London and Hertfordshire to spend a morning there.

We list fourteen businesses on and immediately around Cattlegate Road and Theobalds Park Road. Eleven are garden centres or nurseries; three are specialist suppliers that share the site.

The larger garden centres and nurseries

Ratings from public Google data, collected 2 October 2026. Review volume matters as much as the score — a 5.0 from three reviews tells you very little, while a 4.2 from 1,835 is a settled verdict. We do not rank Glebe or Greenwood for that reason.

Other garden-related specialists on the same road

These are not garden centres, but they sit among them and are often the actual reason for the trip:

• Aylward’s Of Crews Hill — fencing and timber. 4.9 from 161 reviews, the highest-rated business on the road.
• Three Counties Garden & Leisure Buildings — sheds, summerhouses and garden offices. 4.4 from 41.
• Warmerdam & Co — garden furniture. 3.8 from 17.

Also on the nurseries but outside what we list: Maidenhead Aquatics and Kingfisher Aquatics (aquatics concessions within larger sites), Crews Hill Reptiles, and Pots of Art (pottery). Two wholesalers, J. van Vliet and The Best’s Wholesale Plants, trade only and are not open to the public.

Which to visit, depending on what you want

• A big general shop with everything — Springtime or Enfield Garden Centre. Both carry the full range and have the parking for a weekend.
• Mature trees, topiary, something architectural — Paramount Plants. It is a specialist nursery and rated accordingly.
• Browsing several places in one trip — park on Theobalds Park Road and walk. Paramount, The Gardening Club, London Grow and Greenwood are all within a few minutes of each other.
• Fencing, a shed or furniture — Aylward’s, Three Counties and Warmerdam are all on Cattlegate Road.

Getting to Crews Hill

By train: Crews Hill station is on the Great Northern line from Moorgate, via Finsbury Park. The nurseries start a few minutes’ walk from the station. Services are roughly half-hourly and it is one of the quieter stations on the line.

By car: about ten minutes from M25 junctions 24 or 25, and straight up the A10 from north London. Parking is free at most sites but the road gets congested on spring bank holidays and December weekends.

Worth knowing: most sites close around 5pm and earlier on Sundays. London Grow opens later at 10am. If you are coming for one specific plant, ring first — this is a cluster of independents, not a chain, and stock varies enormously between neighbours.

Making a day of it

Two of Enfield’s best gardens are minutes away and are why many people turn the trip into a day out. Capel Manor Gardens (EN1 4RQ) and Myddelton House Gardens (EN2 9HG), the former home of E. A. Bowles, are both within a short drive. Neither is a retail nursery, so check their own opening arrangements.

Have we missed somewhere?

Crews Hill changes — sites merge, concessions come and go. If we have missed a business, listed one that has closed, or got a detail wrong, email suggestions@allgardencentres.co.uk. We correct pages rather than quietly deleting them.
