Soho Green
the grand plan for soho's heart...
We've already made huge steps forward with the award winning Wall of Light and our unique Artshed Loo, but they're just a part of a bigger plan! Click on each image to reveal an interactive guide to the plans for Soho Green.
all weather surface
An all weather rubber surface will be laid across the green so the garden can be used all year round and when the weather is poor
artshed toilet
The Artshed Toilet is the most recent addition to the garden and features works from local and London-wide artists throughout its design
children's play area
Initial consultation showed a keen interest in installing some discrete children's play equipment
paving stones
Paving stones will be laid around the garden to allow circulation throughout the year
seating and tables
Comfortable sociable seating has been designed especially for the space and a communal table will allow for informal picnics and outdoor classes
st. anne's tower
There will be beds of perennial flowers planted around the base of St. Anne's Tower
the green
There will be a large central area of green open space with three further pools of green suitable for smaller gatherings
topiary
The design includes Yew topiary reflecting the original use of the space as a churchyard where Yew is a common choice
trees
Existing Plane trees will remain and Birch will be added to provide an intermediate scale of tree planting
