Living Wall for The Mermaid

Share article:	Tweet

Mayor Boris Johnson announced last week as part of his cleaner air initiatives for London that a green ‘Living Wall’ is to be installed at The Mermaid Conference and Events Centre, subject to planning permission.

The centre sits on one of London’s busiest and most heavily polluted roads and the thinking is for the green wall to not simply provide a visual attraction, but to trap pollutants.

“Our directors have worked incredibly hard with Transport for London to come to this solution and, while it is still subject to planning permission, I am delighted at the outcome, and this will only enhance our green credentials,” says the Mermaid’s Head of PR Carol Anderson.

The Mermaid, formerly known as the Mermaid Theatre, is an independently owned venue on the north bank of the Thames adjacent to Blackfriars Station. It can seat up to 600 delegates in its main auditorium.
