About us

We create thriving green communities in London. We do this by building and maintaining outdoor spaces with the people who live and work around them. In the process, we offer training, employment and work experience to those in need of our support.

#RailtonRoadDesignProject kicked off phase two of the project with a successful and well attended introductory event.

Those who came along had a chance to reflect on the communities memories and quotes about what Railton Road means to them. By the end of the event, everyone understood the deep cultural significance of this road, what it represents to so many people and why it is critical to ensure a lasting legacy for future generations. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the heritage and reflect on the history of Railton Road.

Our co-design sessions are now well on the way and we cannot wait to share more with you soon.

A time capsule for future generations.

As decades pass, the political and social activism of the 70s and 80s becomes a distant memory harboured by fewer and fewer residents on Railton Road.

Luckily, even seemingly small gestures like blue plaques on houses or displays of history facts on playground fences can help honour and preserve this heritage.

#RailtonRoadDesignProject team will be finalising the design soon and we cannot wait to share it with you! @lambeth_council @Inuse_reuse

Do mushrooms talk to each other?!

A recent study shows that mushrooms communicate with each other using patterns that resemble human speech. It is still early to determine what they are saying, but this new discovery sounds equally interesting and promising.🍄

Want to learn all about the mushroom world? Sign up via the link in bio for our Mushroom Growing Course on June 12th in the Paulet Estate/The Remakery community garden.

Railton Road has always been the community's beating heart. Although fashion has evolved since the beginning of the 20th century, the hustle and bustle remains.
