Join us for the launch of London Arboretum, a richly illustrated compendium published by the Architecture Foundation, exploring how trees shape London and how London, in turn, has shaped its tree spaces.

Conceived and edited by Judith Lösing, the book features 26 archetypal tree settings from ancient woodlands to community orchards, combining photography, original drawings and social history. The publication includes contributions from Ken Worpole, Linda Tieu, Gio Iozzi, Loretta Bosence, Eric Guibert and Richard Wentworth. 

We are pleased to present a panel chaired by writer and social historian Ken Worpole, including: architect, joiner and gardener Judith Lösing; Eleanor Fawcett, Head of Design at the Old Oak & Park Royal Development Corporation; Susanna Grant, designer and gardener at Arnold Circus; and a representative from Barcham Trees.
