London Square is delighted to announce that it is an Area Sponsor for Open Garden Squares Weekend which takes place in London this year, opening over 200 hidden and little-known gardens to the public on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June. Gardens are located across 27 London boroughs and range from the historic and traditional to the new and experimental, including private gardens, roof gardens, community allotments, urban wildlife and ecology centres, as well as gardens belonging to historic buildings, institutions, restaurants, schools and shops. Open Garden Squares Weekend is the London Parks & Gardens Trust’s highest profile event, and seeks to increase knowledge and the appreciation of London’s green, urban and open space network. The Weekend is presented in association with The National Trust which is helping to make the city’s hidden green spaces accessible to as many people as possible. We are a proud sponsor of two prime areas in Open Garden Squares Weekend 2013: Kensington, Brompton and Chelsea, and Marylebone, West End and Bloomsbury. Rebecca Littler, Sales and Marketing Director of London Square, said: “Across the world London is famous for its iconic residential squares and their sense of place and community is what inspires our developments across the capital. It’s fantastic to be supporting an event which celebrates the London Square tradition and opens up our beautiful city’s otherwise hidden pockets of green space to the public.” One Open Garden Squares Weekend ticket gains access to gardens for both Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June. An advance weekend ticket is £10 (including fees/p&p) available from www.opensquares.org or from City Information Centre (CIC at St Pauls). A ticket bought over the weekend itself is £12. National Trust Members go half price. For children under 12, admission is free all weekend. Many gardens also present stalls, music, entertainment, family and art activities, food and drink.
