Gillett Square

Gillett Square provides a vital piece of public realm where it is needed most. The urban area of Dalston is in the 10% most deprived wards in the UK. It has no public parks, only 4.22 hectares of open space, a traffic dominated environment and a cramped and hostile pedestrian environment. Hackney Co-operative Developments work with many partners to... ensure that Gillett Square provides us the opportunity to offer the community a vital refuge and place to congregate in community celebration. As real public space in London reduces, Gillett Square is a unique proposition of a space where you can do anything. The Gillett Squared team work together to create activites and events to invite all potential users into the square to meet and interact with each other.
