Lexham Gardens is a street in South Kensington, London.

Although somewhat irregular in shape, the largest part of the street runs west to east from Earls Court Road to Cromwell Road.

Lexham Gardens figures in Part 6 of the BBC miniseries (1979) based on the novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Sir Cyril Taylor, the educator and social entrepreneur, purchased the freehold of a one-acre garden square, near to his London home in Lexham Gardens, by auction in 1989.[2] With the assistance of designer Wilf Simms, he redesigned and replanted the garden, and saved it from the hands of property developers who wanted to build an underground car park underneath. In the garden's first summer of 1991, Lexham Gardens was awarded first prize in the All London Garden Squares Competition, competing against entries from 100 other squares.[3]
