A garden, new hubs and a new look for the Bearpit

Last Saturday, they had the inauguration of The People's Garden, the mobile wildflower garden in the Bearpit underpass. They have created a tetris-like garden which provides seating for  5 people in the busy roundabout. Its aims at supporting the biodiversity, giving pleasure with their variety and colour, improving the lanscape at the Bearpit Market, educating the visiting public, attracting birds, butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects, and bringing people together. 


At the moment, the Bearpit Market is under a very important "face-lift" works and the improvements can already be felt. There will be a new layout, pavement and lighting, but the ramps and subways will be retained. Some food hubs like Bear Fruit had reopened the business. Hopefully, in a couple of months (probably December), the iconic 1979 double-decker green bus will be fully converted into a street food stand and the work currently in place will lead to fresh urban space.
