Jubilee Gardens: Design Chosen for New London ParkA lush, organic area with "softly undulating hills" and flowers blooming throughout the year has been chosen as the design for a central London park.
The concept for reinventing the South Bank's Jubilee Gardens was created by landscape architects West 8.
It was chosen on Wednesday from a shortlist of four and promises lookout points with panoramic views of the Thames and London's skyline.
There will now be more consultation to take the concept to a final design.
Ted Inman, chair of the Jubilee Gardens Steering Group which chose the winning idea, said: "The standard of entries exceeded our expectations but overall West 8 successfully captured the imagination of the judging panel whilst performing very well on key technical, financial and project management criteria.
"West 8 has cleverly balanced the numerous demands on this site by conceiving a garden which is not only a visual landmark worthy of its position in central London but also a space which local residents and employees will enjoy."
