About the Friends of Burgess Park

The Friends of Burgess Park are an association of people and other interested groups who are concerned to protect, promote and enhance an important, inner-city London park.

Speaking-up for Burgess Park – In 2026 we agreed three priorities FOBP we will campaign on and asking the council to take action: large music events; Southampton Way MOL land and cycling route around the park.

Practical projects – Our 2026-2027 projects are the World Garden at Chumleigh Gardens, Southampton Way entrance replanting and building lake small islands. We are also supporting the woodlands project and raised funds for the new Albany woodlands pathway.   

Keep in touch by newsletter, Twitter or Facebook.
