Harleyford Road Community Garden (Vauxhall, London)
London, United Kingdom
Overview
A community garden in Vauxhall, in the London Borough of Lambeth, United Kingdom. It was created in 1986 on a derelict site, developed from an earlier vegetable garden that residents had made themselves. It adjoins Bonnington Square, which has a community garden of its own, and can be accessed from it.
Citizen participation
The garden grew out of a vegetable garden created by residents themselves, and can be entered from the adjacent Bonnington Square. The source consulted does not state who runs it today or on what terms it can be used.
Operating model
The source consulted contains no information on funding.
Impact
That a garden begun spontaneously by residents led to a derelict site being converted, and has persisted on the same spot from 1986 to the present, shows resident-led place-making can take root for the long term. The source consulted, however, runs to only a few lines: the operator, area, number of users, funding and land tenure are all unverified. No claim about the scale of the garden's effects can be made from this record, and it needs corroboration from firmer primary sources.

A 13-hectare (32-acre) urban farm and park in Cubitt Town on the Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamlets, east London. The site had been a dumping ground for dock excavation spoil since the 1860s; when the Port of London Authority moved to transfer it for housing in the early 1970s, the Association of Island Communities ran a successful campaign to keep it as public open space, and the farm was established in 1977.
