Leabank Square on the Tour Circuit!!

Feel like we’ve really made it now! Last Sunday we had just got back from a family cycle and were just resting our tired legs when we overheard a tour party from across the canal. A guided tour party had just stopped opposite our riverbank and the tour leader was busy telling the group all about the Olympic park and the types of trees that would eventually be planted there, after the games.

So we carried on relaxing, thinking they were just your average Olympic tour group, doing the usual circuit around the perimeter of the fence. However, the next thing that happens is that the tour leader asks everyone to turn around and take a look at our riverbank garden. She spends at least 5 minutes bigging up all the stuff we’ve done up there, throwing in lots of compliments about our recycling projects and our plants.

Not only that, the tour guide was kind enough to mention our blog address and urged everyone to take a look to find out what other things we get up to! How cool is that?!! Our square actually being a part of a guided tour! We were really proud and elated that our little old square is having such a positive and inspirational effect on other Londoners.
