Say what you want about London, but you can\u2019t argue that it\u2019s not green. In between all of the skyscrapers, office blocks and densely packed streets, the capital has more than 3,000 parks and\u00a0open\u00a0spaces<\/a>. And there are all sorts of projects going on right now to\u00a0bring even more greenery to our glorious city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest of those projects is at\u00a0Cremorne Wharf Depot Foreshore in\u00a0Chelsea Riverside. At the moment the wharf, which sits on top of the Thames Tideway Tunnel (aka the super sewer)<\/a>, is considered a wasteland.\u00a0But following approval from\u00a0Kensington and Chelsea’s planning committee on April 28, it\u2019s\u00a0set to\u00a0be transformed into a public park.<\/p>\n

Around an acre in size,\u00a0the space will\u00a0be filled with\u00a0seating, planting, trees, artwork and play areas. Plans show it divided into difference zones for activity, socialising and quiet time.\u00a0A new pedestrian link to the Thames Path will also be created as part of the development through a part-demolition of the western boundary wall.\u00a0Once complete, the new park will be open from 7.30am until dusk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The park won\u2019t be permanent, though. The plants and infrastructure will all be moveable to that the space can be used as a wharf again in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another public space above the super sewer opened near\u00a0Blackfriars Bridge in January<\/a>; a new nature reserve was declared in west London back in March<\/a>\u00a0and a brand new garden opened in Regent\u2019s Park in April<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ICYMI:\u00a0A new 14-mile \u2018nature corridor\u2019 will transform four boroughs in east London<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus:\u00a0This is officially the best beach near London for summer 2026<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
