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.
Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust undertook a review of their food waste operations at their hospitals. The Trust identified quick and big wins to reduce food waste by 13%.

In 2022 King’s College Hospital made a bid to the Greener NHS Healthy Futures Fund for an inhaler recycling pilot at King's. The Greener NHS team supported the idea for the project and asked for expansion across the South East London Integrated Care System.
