Green, green grass of homes (flats)

Gardens are usually associated with houses but 66% of flats in Great Britain have access to some private outdoor space.


  • On average, flats have access to 357.8 square metres of private outdoor space which is usually shared and can consist of gardens, patios, terraces etc.
  • With space in London at a premium, the average private outdoor space is only 172.8 square metres – more than half the size of outdoor spaces in the South East (502.4 square metres).
  • Some may see shared gardens as a negative because they prefer their peace and quiet but they also offer great opportunities to socialise with neighbours and you have the added benefit of not having to do the gardening! Source: Dataloft ONS, Ordnance Survey (2020), Savills (2023)
