The Highgate Watercolour Group look forward to welcoming their visitors, both local and from further afield, and take great pleasure in presenting their work in this beautiful historic house.
This year they will have the cream of their output on display, beautifully framed and reasonably priced. Nearly all members are represented, so there is great variety and hopefully something for everyone.
In August, the Highgate Watercolour Group painting activities moved out of 10A South Grove, where they usually work, enabling them to exploit the city more widely. Look out for paintings of Omved Gardens in Highgate, views of Hampstead and the Heath, as well as other north London hotspots. And of course one of their favourite venues is Waterlow Park and Lauderdale House itself.
Everyone is welcome to the private view on Wednesday 11th October from 7.30 pm to 9.30pm – come meet the artists and see the work first!
The gallery is generally open:
- Monday – Tuesday : 12pm to 4pm
- Wednesday : 11am to 3pm
- Thursday – Sunday : 12pm to 4pm
Please note that the gallery hours may change or the gallery may close at short notice due to private events. To avoid disappointment, please check our most up-to-date opening hours by clicking here or calling us on 020 8348 8716 the day before your visit.

Highgate Cemetery is one of the most famous in the world. Opened in 1839, it is now treasured not only as a sanctuary both for the living and the dead but also for its beauty and heritage. Ian Dungavell, Chief Executive of the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, will explain plans for a major project to conserve and unlock Highgate Cemetery’s remarkable landscape of memories, strengthen its resilience to the effects of climate change and enhance the visitor experience.

With so much coverage being given to the troubles in Gaza and the West Bank many people may wonder whether a country in the Middle East is a suitable destination for this year’s holiday. Be assured the principal travel companies continue to operate tours to Jordan as normal, considering it as a wholly safe destination and, as Richard Webber and Jane Campbell will hope to show, even a short visit will expose you to the remains of many different civilisations and a variety of stunning desert landscapes in a hassle-free environment largely undiscovered by mass tourism

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.
We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.
Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!
| Saturday 23 March | 10–12 noon |
