This pioneering study, London: Garden City?, is a partnership project by Greenspace Information for Greater London, London Wildlife Trust and the Greater London Authority. It was funded by a legacy grant from the Wildlife Trusts.
The report reveals that London's gardens are changing from green to grey.
Vegetated land in the capital’s gardens has been lost at a rate of two and a half Hyde Parks per year, driven by garden design and maintenance choices. Hard surfacing – including decking and paving – increased by over 25 per cent in the 100 month study period.
