Parkview Estate Tenants and Residents Association (TRA)
A large, well located Estate in the heart of Tower Hamlets, the Parkview Estate is managed by Tower Hamlets Homes (THH). The estate is situated on the edge of Victoria Park between Old Ford Road and Sewardstone Road. A committed TRA, including longstanding residents, enjoy supporting THH to maintain the Estate's gardens and the Glasshouse, the estate's much-loved community centre, as well as supporting residents.

We will be distributing free plants and buckets of compost to the households in the blocks of flats who use their walkway planters the least

We will have buckets, trowels, free plants and watering cans on hand. Good Gymers will take a wheelbarrow, watering cans and plenty of soil to the estate's balconies.

The end result will be a much brighter and more colourful estate

How are you getting there?
