About Us
We are bright green. Even the server on which this website runs is powered solely by renewable energy.
We have travelled around the world and back, and visited dozens of different countries. What we learned is that people on the whole are really, really nice.
We’ve worked with a lot of directors, and the senior management in many large companies and giant corporations. What we found is that there are a lot of good intentions out there regarding the environment, but there is a basic knowledge gap between the news in the media and the scientific basis of climate change.
Bridging that knowledge gap is the mission of Green London.
(but we want to have lots of fun while we’re doing it too!)

Giving Back To London
As we practice good business ethics - we give back. 10% of all Green London Tour Fees go to St Mungo’s, “Putting Down Roots” Project, an organic gardening project for London’s Homeless.
St Mungo’s is London’s largest charity for homeless people, helping thousands of people to make permanent life changes every year.
Putting Down Roots aims break the vicious circle faced by many homeless people by helping them back into productive work roles through this voluntary project.
Getting close to nature has recognised benefits for well being, and this project engages its volunteers in structured organic gardening, providing training and qualifications.
Most importantly it gives the volunteers a reason to get up in the morning, and somewhere to go. A reason not to get drunk, a reason not to abuse substances, and a productive structured environment to complete rewarding work in.
Last year 125 volunteers participated in a total of 1,981 gardening sessions over 23 sites, working 11,209 hours. The Putting Down Roots team also have a magnificent allotment in North London.
