Lamlash Garden is a group of local residents that improve their neighbourhood spaces. We are an Unincorporated Community Association in Elephant and Castle, London. We seek to bring the community together with the shared aim of transforming neglected and under-used public space in our neighbourhood, for the benefit of all.

Our team is the group of people who successfully created, designed, delivered and now maintain the award-winning Lamlash Garden, one of the Mayor of London's Olympics 2012 Pocket Parks. The team is:

Karen Chung, local resident and journalist: Lamlash Garden association member and Hayles Tenants and Residents Association (Hayles TRA) committee member;
Gareth Morris, local resident and architect: Director, what if: projects;
The residents and committee of Hayles TRA, from Hayles Streets, Elliots Row and Hedger Street in Elephant and Castle.
Lamlash Garden group, a growing number of green volunteers and local Advocates.

The team has been working together since 2013 to create a communal and public garden on Lamlash Street, at the heart of our neighbourhood. It secured funding and permissions to develop and complete the first phase of the garden in 2014/15, and following this success, secured additional funding to complete the final phase of works in Spring this year. Our neighbourhood now enjoys a complete, linear garden space that links together Hayles Street and Elliots Row, and provides a new green route to the Walk Elephant community initiative.

Throughout the project development the team worked closely with Southwark councilors and council officers, in particular the 'Cleaner Greener Safer' team.

Karen Chung pioneered and has steered this project, providing a vision and drive that gained local support and secured vital permissions and funding to enable it to happen. Gareth Morris and what if: projects worked with Karen to develop a sustainable strategy for the garden, the garden design, project management and implementation, alongside the support of Hayles TRA and the Lamlash Garden volunteers.

Project Owner: Lamlash Garden The Project Owner takes legal responsibility for receiving and spending the funds raised and ensuring the project is delivered.

Contractors : what if: projects ltd,Counterculture,Stockdale,Stanislava Stoilova The team responsible for building or installing the project.
