The King’s Cross Group has agreed a long-term lease with environmental education charity Global Generation, securing the permanent future of a new neighbourhood garden and learning space at King’s Cross.
The site on York Way, which is due to open this summer, will provide a home for environmental education, skills and community programmes on a former brownfield site.
Leo Shapland, CEO of The King’s Cross Group, said: “Creating successful places is about more than buildings. The long-term lease reflects our belief that community infrastructure should have the same permanence and ambition as the buildings around it. By providing a lasting home for Global Generation, we are creating an asset that will benefit local residents, occupiers and visitors for generations to come.
“As our long-standing partner, Global Generation’s work strengthens local relationships across the neighbourhood, connects people through nature, and supports our ambition to deliver lasting positive outcomes for communities. It is partnerships like these that help make King’s Cross a more connected, inclusive and resilient place.”
