Lovely Little Dorrit is a vital play space for local children, being right next to two schools. Since most of the local children do not have access to a garden, it was opened to give them somewhere to run and play, just where Charles Dickens raised awareness of the difficulties and responsibilities of city children.

It is an important meeting place for parents too, who are constantly conspiring to improve it. Together we have re-designed play equipment, installed raised planters, brass rubbing plates, and a big bright flower border.

Because so many of us 'Have no time to stand and stare' amid this bustle, we have installed a tiny Peace Garden, where it is believed that the poet WH Auden lived in a cottage when he wrote these immortal words.

Parents and BOST are now working together on a brand new Steering Group for a whole set of new improvements. Get in touch to join us.
