A different kind of city
In 2019, London became the world’s first National Park City – the result of a grassroots campaign that started with a simple question: what if we imagined our city as a National Park?
That same year, hundreds of Londoners, the Mayor of London and over 300 organisations signed the Charter – a shared commitment to grow a greener, wilder, and healthier city. Today, the movement focuses on local action across all 33 boroughs, supporting volunteer projects that bring neighbourhoods and nature closer together.
