About
Myddelton House is a Regency villa in Bulls Cross, Enfield, London, England. Dating from 1819, the building is enclosed by an 8-acre garden that was developed in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. In the late 19th century, the house came into the possession of Edward Augustus Bowles, the "Crocus King", a notable horticulturalist, plantsman and garden writer. Over the next 50 years he created an important garden on the site. After his death in 1954, the house and some of the estate, including the major parts of the garden, was acquired by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority for use as their headquarters. The house continues to serve that purpose and the gardens are regularly open to the public. Myddelton House is a Grade II listed building and the gardens are listed, also at Grade II, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
