Noel Moka

The Lighthouse & Gardens is a meanwhile wellbeing community hub, gardens, sauna and training facility in IQL North; providing a link to Stratford prior to its regeneration.

This project has been shortlisted in the MEANWHILE category and COMMUNITY PRIZE at the 2024 New London Awards.

The LightHouse and Gardens meanwhile initiative in International Quarter London (IQL) North has had significant positive impacts on the community, from opening shortcut pathways from the neighbouring flats to the bus stop to adding a green garden and play spaces. Residents have welcomed this natural, less manicured space as a place to escape and find peace amidst the busy surroundings of Westfield Shopping Centre and Stratford International train station.
