We are thrilled to announce that Gilmoora House has once again received the prestigious Gold Award at this year’s London in Bloom campaign, making it the second consecutive year we’ve been honoured with this top commendation in the Shop Fronts & Workplaces category.
London in Bloom is the capital’s largest horticultural competition, bringing together local businesses, schools, restaurants, and community spaces to enhance the beauty and greenery of Greater London. This incredible initiative works to make our city more vibrant, sustainable and eco-conscious by promoting the importance of green spaces and encouraging all of us to take care of our environment.
What Is the London in Bloom Campaign?
London in Bloom is one of the UK’s most prestigious environmental initiatives, celebrating communities, businesses, and organisations that bring more colour and life to the city.
Each year, local councils and participants across Greater London are recognised for their contribution to creating cleaner, greener, and more sustainable environments.
For Gilmoora House, located in the heart of Fitzrovia, this campaign is more than a competition — it’s a shared commitment to enhancing London’s urban landscape and creating a thriving space where people love to work and connect.
A Gold Achievement for Gilmoora House
We’re delighted to share that Gilmoora House has been awarded the Gold Award in the 2024 London in Bloom campaign, a recognition that reflects our long-term dedication to sustainability and community wellbeing.
Our participation began several years ago, with a focus on transforming our exterior and courtyard areas into green sanctuaries amid the busy city streets. In 2024, our efforts truly blossomed — with vibrant seasonal displays, improved planting schemes, and creative use of sustainable materials that caught the judges’ attention.
A Year-Round Celebration of Nature
The judges assess participants based on a 200-point structure, evaluating everything from design and creativity to the impact on the surrounding area. We are incredibly proud of our seasonal flower displays, which change throughout the year to reflect the colours and textures of each season.
From summer’s cheerful daisies and soft white poppies to the rich autumn tones of cyclamens, our outdoor pots are carefully curated to create a welcoming, ever-evolving space. As the weather cools, the displays transform with winter-friendly plants that thrive in the chill. Inside Gilmoora House, we also celebrate greenery with a collection of leafy plants, from elegant orchids to lush ferns and tall Strelitzias.
Cultivating a Greener Workplace
At Gilmoora House, we believe that a greener workspace inspires a healthier, happier, and more productive community. Our award-winning display was the result of teamwork and attention to detail — from carefully selected plant species that thrive in Fitzrovia’s micro-climate, to sustainable watering systems and pollinator-friendly choices.
Highlights of our green approach include:
- Seasonal planting displays designed in partnership with local horticulturists.
- Indoor greenery that brings warmth and vibrancy to communal areas.
- Recycled and upcycled planters reduce waste and promote sustainable design.
- Regular maintenance schedules that ensure every space looks its best, year-round.
These green touches aren’t just decorative; they create an environment that promotes calm, focus, and collaboration — essential qualities for today’s hybrid professionals.
The Positive Impact of Greenery at Work
A well-designed workspace filled with natural elements offers more than aesthetic appeal. Research shows that plants can reduce stress, improve air quality, and enhance creativity.
For our members, this translates into a more positive daily experience, better well-being, and a true sense of belonging.
By incorporating greenery into our architecture, Gilmoora House redefines what it means to work in Central London — combining heritage elegance with modern sustainability.
A Vision for a Greener Fitzrovia
Winning Gold is both an honour and a reminder that sustainability is a continuous journey. We’re inspired to keep pushing boundaries — turning Gilmoora House into a model of how city workplaces can thrive in harmony with nature.
As Fitzrovia continues to grow as a creative and dynamic district, our mission remains clear: to provide an environment where professionals can work smarter, feel better, and contribute positively to the planet.
