 Between late February and early summer 2026, improvement works will be carried out at Langthorne Park. This marks the first phase of improvements we are planning to deliver over time, subject to future funding. These projects have been shaped by your views and input gathered through engagement events, workshops, and Area Framework consultations. Designed by Jonathan Cook Landscape Architects (JCLA), the works aim to make the park safer, more welcoming, and better connected to nature and community life.
The improvement works will focus on four key areas:
- The Birch Grove entrance, which will have better lighting, planting, signage, new cycle parking and a compact car park layout to make more space for pedestrians and cyclists
- The wooded area by the Multi Use Games Area to create a new outdoor learning area which will be managed by The Hive
- The Pavilion building, which will include a new cafe hatch for events, a new defibrillator, a new community noticeboard, and repairs to the amphitheatre and surrounding paving
- Park-wide art in collaboration with the local community
These improvements are funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (Central Government), developer contributions (CIL and Neighbourhood CIL), and SANGS contributions for improving access to nature and greenspaces.
 The St John’s Leytonstone Community Cinema launch will take place in the church of St John’s Leytonstone on Saturday February 21 2026, doors open at 1.30pm with screening at 2pm.
