The Daily Mail reports that some properties on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London, appear to keep their gardens green despite a record-breaking drought. The outlet cites aerial images showing lawns that are not visibly dried out like surrounding greenery.
The article presents the contrast between the apparent condition of these gardens and broader drought impacts across the UK. It frames the area as home to high-end residences often referred to as “billionaires’ row,” and uses the apparent resilience of landscaped grounds as a focal point. However, the report does not provide independent verification of the water sources used to maintain the gardens or quantify how widespread the effect is beyond the properties visible from above.
