London Parks & Gardens protect our green capital. We love and grow appreciation for the heritage and social value of green spaces, old and new.

Our research and planning volunteers record and champion the past and protect the present of the capital’s public spaces for people, nature and posterity.

We are the charity behind the annual London Open Gardens weekend.

Booking for London Open Gardens 2025 is now open.

Under 12s go free.

Lecture Series

Each topic in our Lecture Series contributes to our understanding of the value of green spaces, old and new.

Our February 2025 talk by Sven Seiffert, Curator of Plants at ZSL, revealed how their work benefits the declining population of central London’s last remaining colony of just eight hedgehogs.
