The monster that lives in Agamemnon Road

Is this the best hedge topiary in town?

It's pretty much of a wow and clearly lovingly tended on an ongoing basis...

And sure enough there is a page on the oracle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary

This one is hiding in Agamemnon Road and is surely a prize effort.

Competition for the best suggested name? Ideas in this team have been:
  • Oscar
  • Clementine
  • Andreas the amazing animal hedge
  • Firaz

August is clearly here...

It's really impressive topiary. I'm interested in the suggestion to call the monster Clementine. Is that because it looks like an orange fruit, because it reminds you of Winston Churchill (his wife was called Clementine)or some other reason?

My personal topiary favourites round here are some twirly pieces in the Quiet Garden in Queen's Park. I've just been trying to find some photos, but sadly the Corporation of London website advertises a page called "Highgate Wood and Queen's Park" which doesn't have any information about Queen's Park on it. Surely some mistake....
