Alexandra Park has once again been recognised as one of London’s outstanding green spaces, receiving three Gold awards at the London in Bloom Awards 2025, along with a Silver-Gilt in the Environment Award.
These achievements extend more than a decade of consistent success for the Park, a major milestone for the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, which cares for the 196-acre landscape for public benefit.
“A landscape rich in nature, heritage and wellbeing”
The Park is home to more than 7,500 trees, 694 types of plants, animals and fungi, 212 species of insects and is a thriving birding location with several resident bat species. Combined with some of the best panoramic views in London, Alexandra Park offers space to exercise, unwind and enjoy time outdoors.
Green spaces are widely recognised as essential to physical and mental health, and the Park continues to play an important part supporting people’s wellbeing in the city.
“Our team, volunteers and friends are at the heart of the Park”
The Trust works closely with the Friends of Alexandra Park, whose volunteers support conservation, habitat management and community activities throughout the year.
Their work, alongside the expertise of our maintenance partners, plays a vital part in caring for the Park’s habitats, heritage features and open spaces.
“A tremendous achievement”
Park Manager Mark Evison says; “These Gold awards recognise the sustained effort that goes into managing the Park’s landscapes, habitats and facilities. Our team, volunteers and partners work tremendously hard throughout the year to maintain high standards, support biodiversity and ensure the Park continues to provide valuable physical and mental health benefits, alongside a wide range of habitats for wildlife. I’m delighted that our ongoing work has received this recognition, thank you to London in Bloom.”
“A charitable mission that supports people and wildlife”
As a charity, the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust is responsible for maintaining and caring for both the Park and the Palace. Income from events, fundraising and charitable support helps ensure the Park remains open, accessible and protected for future generations.
Earlier this year, Alexandra Park also retained its Green Flag Award for the eighteenth consecutive year and received the 2025 Green Heritage Award, supported by Historic England, recognising exceptional management of its historic landscapes.
“A vital resource for wellbeing”
CEO Emma Dagnes adds, “Green spaces play such an important part in life here in London. They support our physical and mental wellbeing, give us room to breathe and provide places to spend time outdoors and feel restored. Alexandra Park does all of this and more, and I’m incredibly proud to see that recognised again this year. My thanks to our team, volunteers and maintenance partners for their commitment in caring for this much-loved landscape.”
Alexandra Park welcomes millions of visitors each year and remains free to enjoy thanks to the work of the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust.
