Todd Longstaffe-Gowan
Spear’s Review
Over the last three decades, Todd Longstaffe-Gowan has worked on a wide variety of high-profile public and private landscape architecture projects.
These include the redesign of the 11 acres of grounds surrounding Kensington Palace, the restoration of the kitchen garden at Hampton Court and the creation of a garden for the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. He also works with private clients, including on a family estate in the Caribbean and a house in rural Dorset.
He tells Spear’s that ‘it’s very nice when clients want to push the boat out and just have a bit of fun. I think that gardens ultimately want to give a lot of pleasure to people.’
Longstaffe-Gowan also lectures on landscape history and design and regularly contributes to a range of publications, such as the Times and the Sunday Telegraph. His latest book, Lost Gardens of London, was published in 2024.
