In St James, in May, trustees of the G-A-Y Foundation and London Landmarks Half Marathon planted an evergreen magnolia in Embankment Gardens alongside the race route to commemorate the contribution of the LGBT+ running community.
St James's councillor Tim Mitchell says:
It is great to see a new tree added to this part of Embankment Gardens adjacent to Whitehall Court. Trees help improve our air quality and must be carefully nurtured."
The Council has an annual tree planting programme. If you would like to nominate a location for a new tree in a street in St James's then please contact us.
