Sir Joseph Banks advised King George III on the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Banks sent botanists around the world to collect plants, making Kew the world’s leading botanical garden. He is credited for bringing 30,000 plant specimens home with him; and the first European to document 1,400.

Banks purchased the Spring Grove estate in 1779. 34 acres north of the London Road, Isleworth, and crucially for Banks, contained a natural spring. The surrounding district became known as Spring Grove. His main residence was at 32 Soho Square, Soho, London. Banks spent much time and effort on this secondary home. He steadily created a renowned botanical masterpiece on the estate, achieved primarily with many of the great variety of foreign plants he had collected on his extensive travels around the world, particularly to Australia and the South Seas.

He died at Spring Grove House, Isleworth in 1820. iChauffeur founder Andrew Senior once owned Joseph Banks gardener’s house. And William and Richard Senior went to Spring Grove Primary School.
