South End Green Association

Categories: Community / Clubs

An association for residents, shops and local workers devoted to South End Green, which is the principal gateway to Hampstead Heath. Shortly after being formed, it succeeded in thwarting a plan to build an elevated motorway ring road that would have passed directly through and above the area.
