The corridor will run through four boroughs: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Haringey, and Newham. The project is led by conservation charity Wild Cities and supports the delivery of London's Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). Green corridors can cool neighbourhoods by up to 7°C, according to an IPBES assessment.
However, the timeline, cost, and specific actions remain unknown. Christabel Reed, co-founder of Wild Cities, said urban nature is in crisis and that access to nature is foundational for mental and physical health. She added that pollinators are the bedrock of ecosystem health, which underpins clean air, water, and food.
Every flower planted becomes a stepping stone. Multiplied across thousands of people and places, these small acts reshape the urban landscape, cool neighbourhoods, and bring communities closer to nature and to each other.
