Bankside 2025: pioneering a low carbon neighbourhood

A week long exhibition exploring the climate impact of our neighbourhood.

From 25 – 29 October, the exhibition at St. Felix Place is complimented by events, workshops and discussions.*

Better Bankside has made a commitment to pioneer green business and become a low carbon neighbourhood by 2025 and carbon Net Zero by 2030. With this in mind, we want to encourage active participation from Bankside’s businesses and the local community.

We want to lead the local conversation and scrutinise what a low carbon neighbourhood looks like for Bankside, now and for the future. Better Bankside will transform a Southwark Street railway arch into a hub for climate action, open to the public in the run up to COP26. It will also be a fun and playful space, that encourages people to interact and learn, sparking conversation and mobilising action from individuals and businesses from the Bankside community and beyond.

Join us for:

• Radical Realities Exhibition – modelling scenarios of what we need to change in Bankside to live a low carbon future. Register your team for our opening night Eco Quiz
