The Friends of Wanstead Parklands seek to raise awareness of Wanstead Park and campaign for its preservation and improvement.
Today the Friends were pleased to welcome members of the Planning and Conservation Working Group (PCWG) of the London Parks and Gardens Trust to #WansteadPark. We are grateful for their interest, and will continue to liaise with them as plans for the park develop.

Gill James' report on the 2025 FWP quiz -
"Friday's quiz was a great success with a nice friendly sociable atmosphere. It was fully booked and there wasn't a spare chair to be found and not much room to move either: 80 people attended plus the organisers. Profit was £801.80."
