Mind

Mind

The Wildlife Garden Project, run by Kensington & Chelsea Mind, works with adults who have experienced mental health difficulties, and uses horticultural training and social enterprise to help with recovery. With its small pond, great variety of wildflowers and rich wildlife, it is also a lovely place for a picnic!

Metronomes

Metronomes

The Metronomes Steel Orchestra (MSO) was officially formed in 1973 by Phil Dubique and Irvin Corridan. This family-based steel band is an established UK steel pan icon and has effectively contributed to this wonderful art form for more than thirty years. MSO is currently managed by Eversley ‘Breeze’ Mills - vice chairman of British Association of Steel Pan.

Skate Park

Skate Park

Meanwhile Gardens has one of London's oldest skate parks with three interlocking bowls of various sizes, pump bumps, hips, extensions and more. Open to all and free to use.

Factory Building

Factory Building

Meanwhile Gardens Community Association staff and gardeners operate from the Factory Building.

This vital and historic building is in a terrible state of disrepair - in large part because we do not have a proper lease on this part of the site, which means we cannot raise the funds to maintain or improve it.
