Garden Museum redevelopment consultation

Garden Museum
30 October 2013
12:00 – 20:30

The Garden Museum has an exciting £6.8 million building project planned. They would like to invite you to a free event so they can hear what you think of the designs.

They have more and more visitors from overseas but we would like to increase visits from our neighbourhood.

Come and meet our curators - see some of the 70 works of art that they have bought recently, and tell them what else you would like to see in the future. Award winning architects Dow Jones will be there to tell you about their plans for the new building, and listen to your thoughts. The Museum's project team will be on hand to answer your questions.

Children will have a chance to create their own artwork and join in a treasure hunt.

The Garden Cafe will provide a special lunch menu, with options for children.

A free drinks reception will take place from 18:30 - 20:30.

Come by and pick up your Neighbours card, which allows you free entry to the Museum. To find out more and to download the programme for the day, please visit:

Inaugural meeting of the Friends of Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground

Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground is a small park which was once the burial ground for nearby St Mary's Church, Lambeth Palace.

Local residents have decided to set up a 'Friends Group' for the park, so they can input into the park's development and defend the park and its users' interests.

Lambeth Council will be investing heavily into the park over the coming year, and more money from new developments in the area can be expected in the future.

The first meeting of the Friends takes place this Thursday, 14 January, at 7pm, at the Garden Museum, St Mary's Church, Lambeth Road. Anyone with an interest in the park is welcome!

Strawberry planting

Children, parents, and grandparents are invited to a special strawberry planting session, taking place in the Lambeth High Street park.

The session is organised by the Garden Museum and the Whitgift residents association.

It will take on 30 March, from 2pm to 4pm.
