Our Mission and Strategic Direction
The London Parks and Gardens Trust (LPGT) is a registered charity, affiliated to the national Gardens Trust (GT). The LPGT seeks to:
- champion all London green space and make observations on planning proposals, both on behalf of the GT, for sites on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest, and relating to other green open spaces, especially those in our Inventory, London Gardens Online;
- celebrate the beauty, horticulture, history, ecology and value of green space, including through Open Garden Squares Weekend;
- cultivate knowledge and appreciation of London’s rich green infrastructure, and the people who create and care for it, including through lectures and guided walks.

Lecture: Greenwich Park Revealed
Graham Dear
Development phase funding from the HLF/BIG “Parks for People” fund has provided the opportunity for the Royal Parks to explore proposals for the possible restoration of the Giant Steps and parterre banks of Greenwich Park. They are the key landscape features of the 17th century Baroque landscape envisioned by Charles II, Sir William Boreman, and André Le Nôtre. However, they are now subdued elements within the maritime Greenwich World Site and require action to ensure their survival for future generations.
