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
Booking for London Open Gardens 2025 is now open
London Open Gardens is our annual event where normally closed or hidden green spaces open their gates to our supporters. Discover rooftop gems, community spaces and historic walled enclosures. We also offer walks and special access opportunities to meet some of the people managing green space for nature, climate and people.

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.
Bird flu alert for London Parks
St James’s Park Pelicans are being kept safe in their enclosure as a precaution against Bird Flu. More generally, visitors to London’s Parks are being asked not to feed birds to help reduce the spread of infection. Food is naturally available to support wildlife or is provided in controlled and hygienic areas by parks staff.
Lecture Series
Each topic in our Lecture Series contributes to our understanding of the value of green spaces, old and new.
The 2024/25 series has now concluded and we are planning the 2025/26 series. All talks will reflect our love of the rich stories of London’s public green spaces and their relevance and role for society. Meanwhile, stay with us by booking your tickets for this year’s London Open Gardens and associated “Behind the Scenes” walking talks.
