Once a thriving transport hub of canals, railway and road, then a derelict industrial wasteland and now a thriving modern redevelopment which is over 40% green. This compact area has an ancient church yard, a natural park where you can get lost in nature, floating gardens, chattering birds, families of geese, flowering houseboats, a green oasis in an old gasworks, community gardens and dancing fountains for children to play in when the sun comes out. Come and enjoy this profusion of nature in the heart of London.
