Islington struck gold – numerous times – at the London in Bloom awards for 2026!

This is an incredible achievement for the most densely populated London borough with the least amount of green space per person.

The awards celebrate the amazing gardening work carried out by communities in Islington who invest a huge amount of time, effort and care into improving their local green spaces for people and wildlife. And these results speak for themselves!

A huge congratulations and thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers and staff who help to look after the borough’s parks and green spaces.
