The W1W Tree Planting Initiative’s aim has been to line the main streets of Marylebone and Fitzrovia with trees.

The idea for this ‘local’ tree planting effort originated in the heart of the community in 2009 – residents and businesses – then joined by Westminster Tree Trust and Westminster City Council, all working in partnership to green the neighbourhood. The initiative saw its 1000th tree planted in June 2022.

The Initiative has benefited from support from all sides of the community. We are especially grateful for the generosity of The Princess Grace Hospital and The Harley Street Clinic, The Portland Hospital, Groundwork London (Forestry Commission), The Howard de Walden Estate, The Portland Estate, Ridgeford Properties and The Langham London. The Weymouth Street phase was also made possible by a generous contribution from Groundwork London through the Forestry Commission’s London Tree and Woodland Grant Scheme and Big Tree Plant. Furthermore, the Initiative was included in the local charity programmes of Sainsbury’s (Great Portland Street) and Waitrose (Marylebone High Street). The Initiative is especially grateful for the support of Westminster City Council without whom little progress would have been possible.
