This site of 16 individual and shared allotment plots was established in the 1970s by the Walworth Allotment Association - a group of local people who were passionate about gardening and growing produce. The group prides itself on only using organic pesticides that enhance and care for the earth. A variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and fruit trees now grow on this reclaimed building site; a twice-yearly working party helps to maintain the site, which also boasts a wildlife area, beehives, pond and a communal area.
This award-winning oasis of green space in south London is open to all, seven days a week. Walworth Garden, with fruit trees, sub-tropical planting and glasshouses, is also home to a horticultural training centre and a vast array of wildlife.
Formal garden square originally laid out between 1824 and 1832 on land belonging to the Corporation of Trinity House. Contains one of the oldest statues in London, dating from the 1st or 2nd century.
Community garden a stone's throw from Borough High Street, set around two large and contrasting courtyards - one in full sun and exotic, one in shade and planted in shades of white and green.
A strip of wasteland has been transformed into a flourishing community resource and a haven for nature. This hidden gem includes a private walled garden, designed by Dan Pearson.
