St John Street Public Realm, Clerkenwell
Boosting Urban Biodiversity : St John Street Public Realm Transformation
We worked on the transformation of St John Street, a new public realm scheme in Clerkenwell. Alongside Islington Council, Central District Alliance, Cross River Partnership, LDA Design, Norman Rourke Pryme and local community group, Clerkenwell Pollinator Path, we helped revitalise a previously congested, grey area into a greener, healthier and more welcoming space. The project responds to community feedback in which residents and stakeholders called for increased biodiversity, an improved public space and safer streets for walking and active travel.
We helped bring surface water management and biodiversity to the space through a range of installations. Our work focused on boosting the pollinator population and involving the community in the process.

Public Realm
At Meristem Design, we help create greener, healthier and more vibrant public spaces, from flood-reducing rain gardens through to interactive pocket parks.
Rain Gardens
Transforming surface runoff into a sustainable solution, rain gardens capture rainfall before it enters the piped network and either releases it slowly into the network or allows it to infiltrate into the ground, preventing flooding.
Design
We specialise in designing beautiful, sustainable urban greening solutions and products that bring nature into public, commercial and residential spaces. From concept to final design, we work closely with clients to ensure that every element is crafted to meet their unique needs, aesthetic preferences, and sustainability goals.
Fabrication
We provide high-quality, in-house fabrication services tailored to the needs of urban greening projects. Composed of skilled welders and carpenters, our fabrication team brings each project from concept to completion using precision and exceptional craftsmanship.

We offer a full range of maintenance services to keep your green space looking healthy and vibrant. Tailored to the unique needs of your project, our horticultural team will provide specialised plant care and maintenance from a one-off basis to a customised schedule.
