Our Beautiful Neighbourhood is an exhibition commissioned by Wandsworth Council and the Royal College of Art as part of the Welcome to Wandsworth schools programme for The Mayor’s London Borough of Culture 2025.
There are be five exhibitions on display between 1 – 23 March 2026 in different locations across the borough, a culmination of a huge visual arts project for local children and young people from primary and secondary schools across Wandsworth, celebrating nature in our borough.
A team of artists delivered workshops to over 50 classes, engaging over 1300 children between October 2025 and January 2026.
Pupils explored their local habitats and discovered some of the plants, animals and insects that can be found there. Children developed their observational and recording skills through fun drawing and collage activities. Their work has been photographed and is now proudly on displayed at Putney Exchange on colourful, vibrant banners in the atrium space near Waitrose.
We’re proud to support Our Beautiful Neighbourhood, celebrating the creativity of local young people and the natural beauty that makes Wandsworth such a special place, showcasing the talent and imagination of local children.
We encourage everyone to visit and explore the banners on display.
