About the tour
As owners of two-thirds of this south-east London town, Peabody are custodians of a vast and varied landscape. Working with community and other partners, they are delivering a comprehensive plan to improve and maintain more than 280 hectares of green space, five lakes and seven kilometres of canal network.
The walking tour will bring to life Peabody’s approach to looking after the landscape, working with local people and partners. You will see sustainable and biodiverse enhancements. These include revitalised housing courtyards and other shared spaces as part of the £10m South Thamesmead Garden Estate programme, and major improvements to Southmere Lake as part of a £2.5m investment. Come and see the changes that have and are being made.
