Our exceptional 1/2 acre community garden farm behind Battersea Park, secluded amongst council blocks, atop a converted car park. We’re growing it to be a pinnacle of People & Planet across the community of London, that we can all turn grey city spaces to green. A garden farm of colour & flavour to slow down and express oneself… Bringing everyone together from the young to the old, taking small bites at a time to make a difference.

The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park manage the award-winning nature reserve and heritage site, a breathing space in the heart of East London. This woodland cemetery is a unique place of transformation: a people’s cemetery, a place for remembrance, a sanctuary for humans as well as nature, a place for festivals, field studies and forest schools. Always changing with the seasons, it is rooted in the history of the East End, a place of rich heritage that is full of possibilities and freedom for all. Our aim is to preserve, care for and improve Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park as a place of historic, ecological, educational and recreational interest. Our main objectives are to manage wildlife and historic monuments for our community to enjoy, to be a people-centric charity, to connect with diverse demographics, and to influence the management, development and public enjoyment of other greenspaces in Tower Hamlets.

Surrey Docks Farm is a working city farm and charity that enables the whole community to learn about farming, food production and the natural environment. We run a range of educational projects targeted to engage those who would benefit most and are supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers who attend on a weekly basis. We are open for the general public to visit for free.
