From outdoor kitchens surrounded by greenery and water features and including Weber-grade BBQ areas, to play parks, allotments and ‘bark parks’ for pets, residents of Quintain Living – the award-winning management company overseeing the rental of more than 3,650 apartments in Wembley Park – are making the most of the great outdoors.
Each of Quintain Living’s 10 buildings in Wembley Park provides a unique set of on-site amenities, including gyms, play parks, resident lounges, work-from-home areas and more. This variety can clearly be seen when it comes to outdoor living facilities, with each development presenting its own bespoke take on cooking, relaxing, and playing alfresco.
Canada Gardens by Quintain Living

At Canada Gardens, for example, the faded brickwork, wooden tables and planters full of brightly coloured flowers that dot the Weber-grade outdoor grill area exude a relaxed, country kitchen vibe. Whether they’re enjoying an afternoon of feasting or simply a drink and a chat, residents can take time out to get away from urban life, despite being just a 12-minute train ride away from central London. Lush gardens surround the outdoor grill area. The grounds are also home to a series of allotment planters enabling residents to connect with nature by growing their own herbs, fruits and vegetables.
Ferrum by Quintain Living

The facilities at Ferrum also provide a unique experience. There, outdoor kitchens are available in both the podium garden and the roof terrace, where residents can enjoy an outstanding view of the iconic Wembley Stadium arch as they cook. The wooden tables, benches and pagodas exude a sense of calm and connection with nature, while providing a perfect balance to Ferrum’s New York warehouse loft-style interiors. The rooftop garden and south-facing podium gardens between each building provide lawn games as well as BBQs and dining areas. For pets, there is also a dedicated dog run.
Madison by Quintain Living

At Madison, carefully considered planting separates the podium garden into a series of areas where residents can tuck themselves away from the world and take time to relax outdoors. There’s a lawn for pets and a play area with sustainable timber climbing equipment for younger residents. The outdoor kitchen facilities are beautifully aligned with the building’s mid-century modern sophistication. Sleek brickwork, lush beds of greenery, metal-framed chairs and tables and elegant tiling, offset by stylish wooden cupboards, all come together to deliver a delightfully chic outdoor grilling and dining experience. At the heart of everything is a circular lawn, with the surrounding flowers, shrubs and trees chosen to attract wildlife, including bees, pollinators, and other insects.
“Renting a home with an outdoor kitchen provides the best of both worlds – you can enjoy grilling in the open air whenever the mood (and weather!) suits, without having to maintain the BBQ and surrounding garden as we take care of that for you. At Quintain Living, residents can make the most of every day when it comes to cooking and eating al fresco.”

The Robinson by Quintain Living

For the young at heart, The Robinson provides an exciting outdoor offering. There’s a roof terrace with a juice bar in the shape of a giant orange and what is believed to be the longest row of sun loungers in London. Residents looking to leave the roof terrace can do so via the seven-metre slide leading to the floor below. On another rooftop, there are brightly coloured work-from-home campervans clustered around picnic tables, while there’s also a spa caravan complete with hot tub. Down in the podium gardens, distinctly defined areas include a serene peace garden, swings, a dog park, a deckchair-bedecked lawn, and a Mad Hatter’s tea party garden with BBQ.
At Quintain Living’s latest Wembley Park development, Repton Gardens, the BBQ area is nestled in the 2,300 square foot podium garden, which also features mature trees, lawned areas and two playparks. Four hireable BBQs are housed within a round canopy, surrounded by tables with seating for up to six people. The development’s social spaces, which include a large ‘Club Room’ with pool table, soft seating, TV area and bar with beer tap and wine, a 1,150 sq. ft gym, ten work-from-home spaces and a large meeting room, open out onto the podium garden, providing a wonderful indoor/outdoor feel. Earthy, natural tones and indoor planting extend that feeling of bringing the outdoors in.
