The Meadow at Elephant Park

The Meadow at Elephant Park is a playful, meanwhile landscape which looks to provide a green oasis for people and pollinators within a dense urban environment.

The Meadow is located on a 2210m ≤ plot marked for development off Walworth Road, Elephant & Castle which links through to Sayer Street and Elephant Park. The site is a key route within the wider masterplan and connects the Elephant & Castle station to the centre of the mixed use development and green heart.

Greening the plot provided valuable pedestrian and cycle links within the area as well as creating a much needed respite from the city in a space which would otherwise remain a vacant plot for a number of years.

As well as providing crucial habitat and foraging opportunities for bees, hoverflies and butterflies it is an important green link which has been brought to life by sculpture, natural play and places to rest amongst the ribbons of wildflowers.
