Judging by @LondonInBloomUK at #QueensRoadCemetery. Last year’s Silver Gilt award will be hard to beat, but they were extremely impressed with the beauty of the cemetery and the way we have worked together to sensitively balance history, mourning, nature and green space,
Big thanks to Queens Road Station #E17 team @TfL for #defibrillator loan yesterday. Sharing my learning: https://t.co/3bak0y3MnL has a map but this one and other train stations aren’t on it. The team were total stars.
