Old garden in West London
Planting density
After 35 years it wasn't exactly underplanted

Plants in pots
Some, usually seasonal and tender

Front garden
Tiny, and even denser than back

Sitting areas
I never really needed any. Two could occasionally sit on the step up to the bank under the trees.
I sometimes brought out a stool or a folding chair for a third person.
