Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, landscape designer whose many credits include the new garden in Chapel Court at Hampton Court Palace and the redesigned Kensington Palace Gardens, talks to Jeremy Howard about London’s eccentric town gardeners of the 18th century such as William Stukeley, who was fascinated by Druids, and Joshua Brookes, who kept an eagle tethered to an extraordinary vivarium behind his residence in central London.
