Community hoardings
Encouraging creativity
Building on good local relationships
In June, we unveiled original artwork by local people on hoardings along Drummond Street at Regent’s Place in London’s West End.
Local people between the ages of seven and 65 created a 120-metre collage on the theme of ‘A Walk on the Wild Side’. The artwork aims to capture the wonders, cultural mix and variety of life in West Euston, where Regent’s Place is located.
“This was a great opportunity for the children to work with artists and residents. The children developed new artistic techniques and the confidence to take this further.”
- Alison Daly, Art Teacher at South Camden Community School
British Land hosted a launch event to congratulate the artists, presenting them with certificates and portfolios of their artwork. We then held a workshop for the participants from South Camden Community School, with a graphic designer and landscape architect demonstrating how art skills can be used in different job roles.
“The arts and crafts class were delighted to take part in this community arts project and were enthusiastic to show their creative skills, their knowledge of the area and to collaborate with the children and youth from local Camden schools.”

Working together
British Land sponsored and project managed the initiative, with the active involvement and support of Diorama Arts, South Camden Community School, Netley Primary School, the Third Age Project and the West Euston Partnership.
