Southwark in Bloom Awards 2009

Part of London in Bloom

Southwark in Bloom rewards those who help make Southwark the cleanest and greenest it’s ever been.

Congratulations to all 2009 winners, listed below. Thanks to everyone who nominated their favourite local space.

Councillor Paul Kyriacou, executive member for environment and transport at Southwark Council, said
“Green spaces of all sizes are particularly important in an inner-city borough like Southwark, so that’s why it’s great to see such great examples of locals making the most of them. The judges had a tough time deciding on the winners this year as the field was so strong, and I’d like to congratulate not just the winners but all the entrants, for making Southwark look fantastic.”
