Jubilee Gardens
2005, London, United Kingdom
West 8’s project Jubilee Gardens is going ahead and will screen live footage of the 2012 Olympics. The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced £11.5m funding to six London boroughs for public space projects that will transform the look and feel of the Capital in time for the 2012 Games.
Jubilee Gardens is situated on the iconic Southbank and forms part of Lambeth, one of the funded boroughs. Lambeth will get £1.5m to create a live site for the 2012 Games and a world-class park.
The project was chosen because it supports the aims of the Mayor of London’s Great Outdoors programme to improve public spaces in the Capital, as well as delivering improved public space and journeys under the Better Streets initiative. It also has demonstrable benefits for the 2012 Olympic Games.
