英国历史园林与绿地保护基金 – 英国历史公园保护平台

机构沿革与法定身份

London Historic Parks & Gardens Trust 是依据英格兰与威尔士法律注册的慈善机构（慈善登记号 1042337）与担保有限公司（公司登记号 2935176），对外以 London Parks & Gardens（LPG）开展运营。该机构以「保护、记录并庆祝伦敦历史公园、园林、广场及其他绿地，让所有人受益」为长期使命，其价值观强调 Inspiring（激发）、Inclusive（包容）、Informed（基于研究）与 Influential（具影响力）四个维度。

城市绿地历史档案与名录建设

LPG 维护并向公众免费开放伦敦城市绿地历史档案（Inventory），涵盖超过 2,500 处具有历史意义的公园、园林、广场、教堂庭院、公墓及其他绿地，由志愿者经多年研究汇编而成。机构同时与 GoParks London、Greater London Historic Environment Record 等外部资源对接，使这些历史特征可在规划体系内得到识别与保护。

规划倡导与绿地保护行动

LPG 的规划与保护工作组每周审阅可能影响伦敦历史绿地的项目，并在必要时提交意见。当前最具代表性的倡导案例是 Victoria Tower Gardens 保护运动：该公园为 Grade II 登录历史公园、地处 Westminster 世界遗产保护区，并受到议会法令保护；自 2016 年起 LPG 持续就拟议的 Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre 项目提出法律与规划层面的反对，2025 年成功促成该园列入 Europa Nostra「欧洲最受威胁遗产地」名单。

会员、活动与开放花园周末

LPG 通过会员体系、志愿者网络及年度募款活动维系运作，每年举办 London Open Gardens Weekend，作为公众打开平时不对外开放的私人或机构庭院的年度盛会，亦是机构主要募款来源。机构同时组织面向会员的步行导览、讲座与志愿者活动，并与 Whitechapel Gallery 等文化机构合作，将绿地与艺术、教育活动相联结。

治理与公众参与

机构由受托人董事会（Trustees）治理，并通过 Planning and Conservation、Inventory and Research、Publications 等多个工作组推动具体工作；机构同时接受个人捐赠、遗赠捐赠、企业合作及志愿者参与，并以年度影响报告与账目向 Charity Commission 与 Companies House 提交合规披露，运营过程接受公众监督。

History and Legal Identity

London Historic Parks & Gardens Trust is a charity registered in England and Wales (Charity No. 1042337) and a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 2935176), trading publicly as London Parks & Gardens (LPG). Its mission is to protect, preserve and celebrate London’s historic parks, gardens, squares and other green spaces for the benefit of everyone, guided by four values: Inspiring, Inclusive, Informed and Influential.

Inventory of Historic Green Spaces

The Inventory is LPG’s free public archive of more than 2,500 parks, gardens, squares, churchyards, cemeteries and other sites of historic interest across London, built over many years by volunteer researchers. Information from the Inventory is linked to external resources such as GoParks London and the Greater London Historic Environment Record so that historic landscape features are recognised within the planning system.

Planning Advocacy and Campaigns

LPG’s Planning and Conservation Working Group reviews weekly planning lists and responds where London’s historic green spaces are at risk. The flagship Victoria Tower Gardens campaign has run for more than a decade: a Grade II listed park inside the Westminster World Heritage Site, protected by Act of Parliament and home to memorials to the anti-slavery movement and the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst. In 2025 LPG secured the park’s inclusion on Europa Nostra’s 7 Most Endangered list.

Membership, Events and Open Gardens Weekend

LPG is sustained by members, volunteers and donors, with London Open Gardens Weekend serving as the major annual celebration that opens more than 100 hidden private and institutional green spaces to the public each year. The weekend also functions as the charity’s principal fundraising moment. Throughout the year, LPG runs walks, talks and learning projects, including a 2026 collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery on Walking Scores in Mile End Park.

Governance and Public Engagement

The charity is governed by a board of Trustees and operational committees covering Planning and Conservation, Inventory and Research, and Publications. Annual reports and accounts are filed with the UK Charity Commission and Companies House, and supporters can engage through individual giving, legacies, corporate partnerships, volunteering, mailing-list updates and public consultations on planning policy.
