A celebrity creative collaboration bringing together the worlds of fashion and garden design has transformed this theatre in London Bridge into an urban oasis. World renowned British fashion designer Dame Zandra Rhodes teamed up with garden designer and TV presenter Joe Swift to create a linear ‘pocket park’ at the Greenwood Theatre on Weston Street, London Bridge, in SE1.
The Theatre’s new facade and adjacent planting not only dramatically improves the streetscape but reduces flooding, provides seating, increases biodiversity and makes the theatre appeal to a much wider audience.
Organised and part-funded by Team London Bridge, other contributors included Cityscapes, King's College London, Network Rail and The Mayor of London's Pocket Parks Programme.
