Druid Street Gardens is all about new life growing from urban change. It is currently home to the RHS Chelsea show garden ‘Repurposed’, designed by Darryl Moore of Cityscapes.

Previously the site of a Victorian slum then covered by a busy road, this western tip of Druid Street is now reclaimed from cars and has become a green space, albeit officially still a highway. In 2015, the grass lawn here was seeded as a wildflower meadow to increase the biodiversity value in this dense urban area. In 2024 a re-planting was necessary as grasses were overtaking the flowers, and so we re-housed 2,200 plants from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show here in London Bridge. The garden was designed and planted by Cityscapes with the help of 50 volunteers, local employees, and residents.

This garden is made entirely by applying circular economy principles. The drought-tolerant plants are a selection of drought-tolerant, mediterranean species such and charismatic Eucalyptus, Hawthorn, Yew, and Magnolia trees. They are planted into 100 tonnes of construction waste, sand and rubble.
