A major new public garden in The Regent’s Park to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II

Executive summary from entrant:

On a one-hectare site currently occupied by disused glasshouses, out buildings and hardstanding the new garden will include promenades, beautiful planting, meadows, woodlands and a large water body. Exciting, accessible and welcoming, it will be a place for quiet reflection and a fitting commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II. Heritage conservation was integral to the scheme, reflecting the Queen’s long, extraordinary life and John Nash’s historic framework for the area. An exemplar of sustainability and carbon management, the scheme includes extensive reuse of material, re-purposing a former water tower and it will achieve an incredible 184% net gain in biodiversity.
