Another photo from the archives this week.
This magnificent palm tree was the centrepiece of St George’s Gardens (behind the Grosvenor Chapel and wedged between South Street and Mount Street in London’s Mayfair) a few years back. Considering this was taken in mid-February after a particularly frozen December, the tree looked in remarkable condition. And judging by the size it has been there quite a few years. A most handsome specimen. I hope it is still there.
