Development in the area has started, 5 minutes walk from the site.
The site is located in a growing area with great transport access.
LOCATIONCultivate is located on the A201 (New Kent Road), close to the Elephant and Castle Underground and Overground Station. The property is situated within the London Borough of Southwark, approximately 1 mile from Tower Bridge. It is located near the Junction of the A2 and A3, which provide direct access to the M25. Old Kent Road counts with many buses from all around London and the site is located 5 minutes walking from Elephant and Castle Station. The site is located within the new Heygate opportunity area, which means there is a great potential for new business and community activities in the area. The redevelopment is bringing a broad range of facilities, including retails, parks, markets and play areas. Its evident in the new Heygate masterplan the large amount of land being used to accommodate greens areas, preserving the existing trees as well as growing new ones. Southwark’s
Tree Management Strategy states their vision for 2015, which includes getting the community involved and increasing the amount of trees in the Borough. The site being located 5 minutes walk from the Heygate area allows great opportunity for locals to collaborate and getting involved in the Borough’s vision for trees. Cultivate promotes care and awareness of our environment, offering spaces for gardening all year round, talks, film screenings and art courses. As local people develop new skills and awareness of their enviroment inside the hub, the surroundings are also greatly affected. Around the site there are new apartments being built, Globe Academy School and Victory School, which are also potential collaborators as Cultivate provides children’s activities and is able to cater for day trips. The space is very airy and open, allowing easy access to everyone and to different uses.

Rear Entrance
The site is located in New Kent Road, a main street with several bus services and 10 minutes away from Elephant & Castle Station. The nearest bus stop from Elephant & Castle to Cultivate is in front of David Copperfield’s Garden, which is on the other side of the street from Cultivate, the street has a lot of traffic and to across the street safely commuters have to walk past the site to find the nearest traffic light. The journey should be safe and easy and
accessible to anyone. Also Cultivate offer rear access, which is in a very quite street and should benefit most locals and children from Victory School. There is a large space at the front of the building free of any obstacles to allow a free flow of people coming in and out the building. Inside Cultivate spaces are kept very airy and open and doors are large. Access ramps and a lift are placed in order to make sure wheelchair users can move to any are of the building.

Cultivate is a hub promoting tree and plant growing in the area of Southwark. It aims to help locals looking after their environment as well as cultivating new skills. It provide spaces for training on gardening, growing trees and booking slots for outdoors activities in the borough’s green areas, such as growing a tree. Also the hub offers art courses, talks, lectures, film screenings, a shop and a canteen.
Cultivate was born in response to the massive regeneration happening in the area and it wants to be part of this. It wants to support locals getting ready for the change and to make the change. It believes people deserve the opportunity to develop new skills. It will not only benefit locals themselves but also the environment and community.
‘’Community involvement has the potential to provide additional resources for tree management and maintenance. Past planting projects in Southwark have demonstrated that, when local residents are involved in planting and maintenance, new planting have a better survival rate, are less likely to be vandalised and give a sense of ownership to the local community. The Tree Management Strategy will continue to encourage greater community Involvement in the care and management of Southwark’s trees through schemes such as community planting and adopt a tree programmes.’’ Southwark Tree Manegement Strategy, 2010.
