Open spaces in London

Hilly Fields – Lewisham, south London
At Hilly Fields in Lewisham the community is growing a wildflower meadow, a biodiversity rich hedge and planting bulbs. Interpretation boards and signage have been put in so that people, especially local school children, can learn more about their local environment. A ‘bird champion’ scheme ensures that there is always food to attract the birds.

Weavers and Allen Gardens - Tower Hamlets, east London
This scheme aims to improve biodiversity of a local green space involving children from a nearby school in an educational project on the site.

The Warren - London Borough of Sutton
This project is one of the Greater London Authority’s schemes to tackle ‘areas of deficiency to nature' (more than 1km walking distance to a green space) – while protecting a nationally important habitat through land management methods.
