Calthorpe Project


Calthorpe park is a community run garden. It is in Kings Cross. It is 1.2 acres and is solely for the locals. It has quiet areas, water features , seating, flower beds, glasshouses, a swamp, a meeting area and a small restaurant. Most of it is funded by the borough of Camden. It seems to have declined in recent years as there are repairs needed around the site. however this doesn't stop local children treating it as there own. When I visited the site they were preparing to do some extensive planting throughout the site.
