About our organisation 

The Friends of Tavistock Square was established in 2007, with the support of Camden Council to become the 'voice' for one of the most tranquil yet neglected landscapes in inner London. 

The organisation had evolved from the Tavistock Court Environmental Group, a committed body of local residents with a passion for protecting and enhancing the local environment for residents, those working in the vicinity and the many visitors to Tavistock Square and the surrounding area. 

A key initial driver had been to support the Council's bid for funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This bid was unsuccessful, however the square did subsequently become the recipient of a significant amount of funding from a commercial development which has enabled  the Council to undertake significant improvements which were completed in the Spring of 2011. 

Our objectives are to:

• Protect and enhance the integrity of the Garden
• Work with Camden Council and other stakeholders to improve the physical environment                                           
• Ensure that visitors to the square feel safe                        
• Ensure that the needs of our largest groups of visitors i.e. local residents and visitors to the various memorials are met
• Promote the historical and national importance of the square
