Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is a harmful air pollutant mainly from traffic and fossil fuels. It worsens respiratory health, contributes to smog and acid rain, and forms fine particles and ozone. NO₂ is a key indicator of urban air pollution and a target for clean air and sustainability policies. As part of Lambeth’s commitment to improving air quality, we use diffusion tubes to monitor nitrogen dioxide levels around the borough. To collect these samples, we work with Gophr, who collects and replaces over 120 samples monthly using bicycle couriers, making sure our monitoring project doesn’t contribute to poor air quality.

Incredible Edible Lambeth supported six estates to improve their biodiversity from June 2024 to May 2025. They co-designed a range of interventions with residents, which included installing wildflower meadows, bulb planting, food-growing support, and workshops.
Lambeth Council, together with WeAreWaterloo BID and the South Bank and Waterloo Neighbours Forum, is regenerating Hercules Road, Waterloo, to create up to 300m2 of new green space, trees, cycle parking facilities and seating for the community.
With funding from the London Mayor’s Business Climate Challenge, Station to Station BID worked with local businesses to support them to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their carbon emissions. One particularly successful business was the Rathbone Society, which reduced their energy usage by over 50%.
