The Project

Christchurch Gardens is a small public open space set back from the busy Victoria Street in the heart of Westminster, just a few minutes’ walk from Parliament Square. The site is the former burial ground for St Margaret Westminster dating from 1625, which was replaced in the 19th century by Christ Church Westminster, itself destroyed in the Blitz of 1941. The site was left as open space after WWII and then converted into a public garden in 1950, with a central lawn beneath a canopy of London Plane trees.

The project Landscape Architects were appointed to design a scheme that ‘aimed to create a meaningful space for the community whilst importantly improving the biodiversity of the site.

Project Solution

Products designed, supplied and installed include bespoke wall-top seating and steel-framed boundary screens including a wire system for climbing plants and with integrated illuminated signage explaining the historical background of the site. Steelwork was finished in a specialist bronze coating in keeping with this high-profile site in the heart of Westminster.

The redeveloped site opened to the public in autumn 2020 and has quickly become a popular outdoor space as people return to their places of work in the Victoria area.
