Little Wormwood Scrubs Improvements Project

Following a public consultation in 2008 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea developed plans for a scheme of improvement works to Little Wormwood Scrubs. In 2009 the Royal Borough also celebrated the announcement that it had won additional funding for Little Wormwood Scrubs as part of The Mayor of London’s Priority Parks Scheme. This scheme gave every Londoner the opportunity to vote for a park which they felt needed help to improve facilities. This award has allowed us to expand and enhance the previously planned improvement project.
