  • Green space
    Green Flag Awards, managed by the Civic Trust, are the national benchmark for quality parks and green spaces, with winners judged to be welcoming, safe and well-maintained with strong involvement from the local community. In 2006, the tenth year of the scheme, a record 79 were awarded to green spaces in London boroughs, ranging from well-known locations like Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Southwark Park to the small, tranquil Norman Leddy Memorial Gardens in Hillingdon.

    ‘Everyone should have easy access to superb green space,’ says scheme manager Paul Todd. ‘The winners are all places of pride and freely accessible, providing time out from the stresses of modern-day living. They help improve the quality of life for everyone.’
