Mobile Garden
Mobile Garden is a community growing space where local residents, schools and community groups can come connect with nature in the middle of Hackney. The movable garden is designed to be “no-dig” and wholly moveable to enable short-term occupation of pre-development sites and other spaces.
First established at Chobham Manor in 2017, we are now excited to launch at its second site on the canal side of Hackney Bridge (Units 1-28) – by the canalside, near River Lee Navigation and Capital Ring. We will be there – gardening, growing and sharing – until the end of 2023. Organised activities, run by one of Groundwork London’s Community gardeners take place Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays weekly.
Please check below for the upcoming activities in December.
Where to find us: Hackney Bridge Gardens, East Bay Lane, London E15 2SJ (by River Lee Navigation and Capital Ring). You can also find us here.

Getting here: The nearest transport link is Hackney Wick Station, which is a 5-minute walk away. DLR, Overground and the Jubilee, Central and Elizabeth lines also run to nearby Stratford – from here it is a 20-minute walk to the site, through the Olympic Park.
Accessibility to the site: You can access the garden via the front stairs from Hackney Bridge. For assisted access please check in at the Hackney Bridge security office (at 07933 196 090) and you will be safely guided to the garden.
Facilities: There are publicly accessible toilets at Hackney Bridge. These include baby-changing facilities.
