COMO Conversation: Rewilding London
Mayfair sits between two of London’s great parks. Yet the rooftops, gardens and terraces between them remain largely detached from each other.
On Wednesday May 27th, COMO Metropolitan London invites you to an intimate COMO Conversation exploring what it would take to connect them – not just on the map, but in nature.
From unexpected urban wildlife to rare plant species found only in London, this discussion brings to light what a biodiversity corridor through the heart of Mayfair could look like.
Mayfair sits between Hyde Park and Green Park. This COMO Conversation addresses what it would take to connect them by building a living corridor, threading green through the city.
The discussion will bring to light the stories already present in the city and the challenges they face, from artificial light to habitat fragmentation.
A raffle on the evening supports Nattergal's Boothby Wildland, 617 hectares of active rewilding in Lincolnshire. Among other prizes, one guest will win a complimentary one-night stay for two in a park-view room at COMO Metropolitan London night, including breakfast.
