  • The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy

    The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy

    The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy The Royal Parks charity manages over 5,000 acres of historic parkland and open spaces across London. This includes eight Royal parks: Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, The Green Park, Regent’s Park & Primrose Hill, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and Bushy Park. The charity also manages other important green spaces in London, including Victoria Tower Gardens and Brompton Cemetery. The eight Royal Parks have been awarded Green Flag status, which recognises them as some of the UK’s best-kept green spaces and heritage landscapes. The nature quality of the Royal Parks is recognised through a number of international, national and local nature conservation designations. We believe that all aspects of our operation should be carried out in a way that takes advantage of enhancement opportunities, minimises our adverse impacts on the environment, while maintaining the economic viability of the parks. Therefore, we have developed a Sustainability Strategy that focuses on four key pillars: • Conserve and enhance the unique landscapes, built heritage & biodiversity • People, education, fairness and improving wellbeing • Mitigation and adapting to climate change • Sustainable growth - providing environmentally excellent and financially viable green open spaces to the public Within these sustainability pillars, our key commitments include: • Effective conservation and enhancement of landscape, wildlife and buildings. • Promoting sustainability messages through learning and engagement programmes for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. • Enhancing biodiversity through appropriate management of The Royal Parks and participation in Partnerships. • Working with Event partners to deliver sustainable events, ensuring everything practicable is done to not negatively impact on biodiversity, maximise waste recycling, minimise greenhouse gas emissions from temporary power and mains water use (except where the mains water replaces bottled water).

  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt

    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt

    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).

The Kensington Gardens and the Solstices Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino Abstract : Here we discuss the orientation of two avenues of the Kensington Gardens along the sunrise on solstices. Keywords : Architecture of the Gardens, Satellite Images, SunCalc, Archaeoastronomy. The Kensington Gardens are one of the Royal Parks of London. The gardens are covering an area of 270 acres, and, with the Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James's Park form an almost continuous green area in London [1]. The Kensington Gardens are generally regarded as being the western extent of the Hyde Park, however the Gardens have a more formal layout than that of the Park [1]. In origin, the Gardens were the western section of the park created by Henry VIII in 1536 for hunting purposes. At the request of Queen Caroline, in 1728 the Kensington Gardens were separated from the Hyde Park [2].

    Royal Parks: 1 Root and Branch Restorations

    Royal Parks: 1 Root and branch restorations The Royal Parks cares for eight of London’s most spectacular and significant green spaces, covering over 5,000 acres of historic parkland. 2 3 LDA Design’s relationship with The Royal Parks spans decades, and is award winning. Together, we have restored historic landscapes based on archaeological investigations and furthered sensitive designs that appeal to new audiences, within Grade I registered landscapes. For Kensington Gardens, we redesigned the North Flower Walk, first established by William Forsyth in the 18th century after his demolition of George II’s ‘Breakfasting House’. We also led the reconstruction of Bridgeman’s three-hectare Round Pond, west of Kensington Palace. The restoration was based on archaeological investigations with modifications to improve safety and make it more appealing to modern park goers. Access improvements and alterations were also made to the Grade II listed Black Lion and Palace Gates, north and south of The Broadwalk.

  • Phase 2 of the Royal Parks Movement Strategy Engagement

    Phase 2 of the Royal Parks Movement Strategy Engagement

    London Living Streets response to Phase 2 of the Royal Parks Movement Strategy Engagement London Living Streets is the London campaigning arm of Living Streets which is the national charity for everyday walking. The London group aims to be a voice for people seeking to improve conditions for walking in the capital and is made up of the members of Living Streets borough groups across London and other individuals who are interested in these issues. We are commenting on how Royal Parks might improve the way the seven strategic outcomes of the draft Movement Strategy are achieved. We comment with particular reference to the experience and safety of people who walk in the parks and whose journeys, to or from the park, include walking. We strongly support all seven strategic outcomes in the phase 2 Royal Parks Movement Strategy engagement and welcome the initiatives taken that create a programme that will promote the safety and amenity of people walking. We very much welcome the general approach of the document which recognises that only with a complete change in attitude to Active Travel are we going to be able to deal with improving the walking experience in the Royal Parks, as well as tackling the air pollution and climate change crises amongst a whole host of other issues . Fundamental to these wholesale improvements is the urgent need for the removal of through (motor) traffic using the Parks as a short cut and the elimination of all but the most essential service vehicles whose entry and exit should be strictly controlled. Such a fundamental change must include vehicle access and parking being only available to those directly using the parks and to be limited to a highly selective list such as people and groups with impaired mobility and other disabilities.
