London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling on Lambeth to submit ideas for revitalising some of the capital’s unique public spaces.
The Mayor’s Great Spaces initiative is part of a range of measures to improve London's vast network of outdoor spaces.
The leaders of all London’s boroughs have now been invited to submit ideas for projects that can be considered for a share of £200,000.
A Great Spaces Panel, chaired by Sir Simon Milton, deputy mayor for policy and planning, will assess projects submitted.
Once the chosen projects are completed, they will be in line for a Great Spaces Award.
Architect and masterplanner, Sir Terry Farrell, CBE, said: “For too many years the focus of creating new urban spaces has been towards inner London.
“The vital role played by our town centres and communities in the suburbs has been overlooked and I would actively encourage local authorities in the suburbs to participate in the Mayor's initiative as these areas contain some of the most important drivers of London's future success."
Projects must be submitted by July 31.
