London Parks & Gardens protects our green capital. We love and grow appreciation for the heritage and social value of green spaces, old and new.
Our research volunteers record and champion the past while our planning team protect the present and future value of the capital’s green public spaces.
London Open Gardens 2025
Produced by Dunya Simões for South West Londoner, June 2025
Our thanks to all who joined us for LOG2025
London Open Gardens is our annual event where normally closed or hidden green spaces open their gates. The fundraising event showcases rooftop gems, community spaces and historic walled enclosures. Alongside this are expert-led walking tours on horticulture, history and the influences which shaped our capital.
Money raised from the event funds our work celebrating, recording and protecting public green spaces for all. Work is now underway to deliver LOG2026, which will be held over the weekend of June 6th and 7th.
Campaign update
“Victoria Tower Gardens is an ongoing example of the slow erosion of public green space. It is not disposable, replaceable, nor empty. They [London’s parks and gardens] are prized.”
Victoria Tower Gardens has been named one of Europe’s Seven Most Endangered heritage sites. Your DONATION helps us save this park and others across London.
Lecture Series
Tickets are now on sale for our 2025/26 Winter Lecture Series.
We have six to choose from, including three at the Garden Museum’s beautiful Clore Space in Lambeth. If you can’t make it to the Museum, you can watch online.
We kick-off in October with the newly appointed head of Kew Gardens, Dr Raol Curtis-Machin, talking about the complex and nuanced relationship between people, planet and plants as we face global-scale climate and biodiversity loss.
Others in the series explore the tree legacy of a failed attempt to establish a British silk industry, how the devastation of the blitz helped create green spaces, and the evolution of London’s gardens and urban food growing brought about by migration.
