Bankside's Open Spaces Tour

12 March 2025, 10:00 am–12:00 pm

Park in Central London

Bankside, SE1 has developed substantially in the last 30 years. The local community has seen an influx of businesses and developments not all in sympathy with the surroundings. Bankside's open spaces and pocket parks have a rich history and contribute to local people's health and well-being. Led by a former Chair of Bankside Open Spaces Trust, this two hour walk will involve visiting six very different sites.

This event is free.
