Bespoke Shutters in Avery Hill
Avery Hill, an area nestled in the picturesque Royal Borough of Greenwich in South East London, has an intriguing history that complements the richness of its lush, sprawling landscapes.
Over a hundred years ago, Avery Hill was not the name of an area, but a palatial residence owned by a wealthy English businessman, John Thomas North. North had earned an impressive fortune abroad, and constructed the splendid Avery Hill House with it. Upon North’s death in 1902, the London County Council purchased this stunning property, extending the grounds to create a great park that continues to flourish today. North’s residence was similarly transformed, becoming a building for education, and continues to serve this function today.
