London Parks & Gardens protects our green capital. We help everyone to appreciate and access historic green spaces from our home at the iconic Duck Island Cottage in St James’s Park, SW1.
We welcome you to discover the history of London’s parks and gardens through our Inventory. Through our regular series of talks and our publications, you can also learn about the people that have shaped London’s parks and gardens and ongoing management challenges.
There are lots of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer, such as researching and recording, or helping to campaign to protect London’s precious landscapes. Or get more deeply involved and join our Trustees – we are currently recruiting for a new Chair.

Photo of the Month
Burgess Park, Southwark, is the culmination of work begun in the 1940s to increase London’s public open space and form ‘green lungs’. Completed in 1995, it was created by demolishing houses and factories, infilling the disused Grand Surrey Canal and consolidating smaller green spaces. (Photo by Helen Monger)
