The project includes the restoration of a set of giant grass steps dating back to the 17th Century that lead up to the terrace of the Royal Observatory. David Morley Architects led a team of design consultants to improve the park’s visitor facilities, with the development of Vanbrugh Lodge Cafe and Wolfe Kiosk. The Wolfe Kiosk project is currently in progress on site, and the Vanbrugh Lodge ‘Ignatius Sancho Café’ was completed in April 2024.

“The park is a space where nature, people, and heritage meet, and through this significant project, we’ve been able to protect the landscape for centuries to come.”
