In July, during one of the hottest and driest summers in recent memory, the London in Bloom judges visited London Bridge to explore the area’s thriving green spaces. Our partners and contractors were on hand to present some of the neighbourhood’s most cherished sites, including Gibbon’s Rent Secret Garden, Potters Fields Park, the Orchard Lisle Living Wall, Queen Elizabeth Gardens and the Holyrood Street Kiosk.

Sustainability, along with the health and wellbeing of our community, continues to be at the centre of our work. Each project is designed with biodiversity and air quality in mind, while our teams actively reduce emissions by using cargo bikes instead of motor vehicles for deliveries. We also embrace circular practices by reusing reclaimed plants and materials wherever possible, helping to minimise waste and environmental impact.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who made the judging day possible and to those who help care for these spaces all year long, from volunteers and local businesses to our community partners. Special appreciation is extended to Darryl Moore, Cityscapes, Potters Fields Park Management Trust, Southwark Council, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, King’s College London, London Bridge City, Oriana Catino, and Scotscape for their ongoing dedication and collaboration.

We also want to congratulate our fellow Business Improvement Districts who took part in this year’s London in Bloom competition. Together, we’re creating a greener, healthier, and more enjoyable city for everyone.
