London Parks & Gardens is a small charity with a big mission to champion London’s historic parks, gardens, squares, and other green spaces for the benefit of everyone.
We do this by:
- Researching and recording in our Inventory the history of green spaces across the capital. We make this information publicly available for free on this website.
- Campaigning and making comments to ensure the interests of historic green spaces are fully accounted for in the planning process.
- Running events, including walks and talks for our members, and London Open Gardens Weekend – a major annual celebration of London’s hidden green spaces which generates the vital funds we rely on the rest of the year, and raises awareness of the value of urban green space.
Our Values
In designing and delivering our work we will aim to be:
- Inspiring
- Inclusive
- Informed
- Influential
Our Vision
Green spaces have always made London liveable. Our vision is that green spaces in London, old and new, can be enjoyed by everyone and are protected.
Our Mission
To ensure London’s green spaces are protected, so everyone can enjoy them.
Our Theory of Change
We believe that the best means of achieving our mission is to mobilise the public to support our vision.
If we can demonstrate to decision makers that sufficient people care deeply about our mission, we will be better equipped to help minimise any loss of London’s green spaces and maximise the public’s opportunities to enjoy them.
