LONG LIVE
THE ARTIST’S GARDEN!

In the heart of London stands a bold, historic project: The Artist’s Garden — the world’s first and only public sculpture garden dedicated to the work of women artists.
Since opening in 2021, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors every year for free, every day. A free, open, space where the brilliance of women is not hidden, but celebrated at scale — a place where artists, young people and communities come together to experience what women can achieve, collectively, in public space.

But today, The Artist’s Garden is at risk of losing its home for the last five years on Temple Station Roof Terrace. Places for London, TfL’s commercial property arm has said that it needs to clear the site for ‘essential safety repairs’, putting this public space — protected by its own legislation passed in 1864 and reinforced in 1919 — in danger of being lost.

As of September 2026 we have some GOOD NEWS to share: We're here to STAY until 31 May 2027! The Artist's Garden has temporary reprieve to stay at our Temple site. Thanks to YOUR voices, YOUR funding and YOUR influence - in the press, on your socials, across your networks – TfL/Places for London no longer need to clear the site by 1 October for 'essential safety repairs'.

But the campaign is far from over, read more here see our coverage in the press below.
