Moor Lane Community Garden
+EC1 places index 

The Moor Lane Community Garden is a new temporary installation that aims to increase the provision of green space in Moor Lane.
Developed through a co-design approach with the local community, the installation responds to the area’s design and history whilst exploring new and exciting ways to green our streets. Following a series of collaborative workshops, the design takes inspiration from the iconic architecture of the Barbican and London Wall.


A pocket park worthy of the name has appeared next to the Barbican and is a few pot plants in a few concrete pots. It’s a temporary pocket park sitting next to another temporary pocket park that’s so temporary that it’s still there three years after it opened.
