Title
Brixton Tate Library Gardens at Brixton Oval
Description
Brixton Tate Library Gardens at Brixton Oval, Brixton, with Lambeth Town Hall and the Budd family monument in the background. The Library was established in 1892 by Sir Henry Tate as a free public library and is now a Grade II listed building. The architect was Sidney R.J. Smith. It is a building in a free Renaissance style. The garden in front of the library was given by Lady Amy Tate in 1905 to fulfil the wishes of her late husband whose bust can be seen in the centre. The garden is laid out in a circular manner with plants upon a grass bed and paths cutting through. Trees and bushes are around the edges. On the nearside is an iron gateway with stone posts mounted with a lion on either side; the ornate ironwork has 'Tate Library Garden' written above the entrance. A man with a straw boater walks through the gardens. Beyond the iron railings are more people and a horse.
