About the Studio
Building considered gardens across South West London since 2012.
Our Philosophy
Design-led from the first visit.
Thames & Oak began with a simple conviction: that residential gardens deserve the same care and consideration architects give to the houses they sit alongside. Too much of the UK landscaping market is shaped around quoting for paving; we work the other way around — beginning with a measured survey, an honest conversation, and a design.
From our studio in Kingston upon Thames we have built across Richmond, Surbiton, Esher, Wimbledon and the wider South West London area for more than a decade. We know the local soils, the conservation contexts, and the particular qualities of light that make a Surrey garden feel right.
Every project is led by a designer from first visit to handover, and built by our directly employed teams of masons, carpenters and horticulturists. No subcontracted middlemen. No surprises.
