The Calthorpe Project is a unique
building integrally linked to a small,
multi-use green space on the Grays Inn
Road in London's King's Cross. The site
was initially established in 1984 after
local people fought to save it from
development. The purpose built community
centre and meeting venue was constructed
using highly innovative building
techniques about 13 years ago. It now
caters for a very diverse range of
regular users and occasional visitors.
Good definition of space allows for a
wide variety of functions and helps to
maintain a harmonious atmosphere between
the different groups.
Calthorpe is taking part in the Open
Garden Squares weekend in London on
Saturday 12th June 04. If you would like
to join in, you can get more details from
the London Parks and Gardens Trust
