CHINBROOK MEADOWS. DESMOND TUTU
Desmond Tutu is associated with Grove Park, London, because he lived there from 1972 to 1975 while serving as a curate at St. Augustine's Church. A dedicated Peace Garden and Peace Trail were established at Chinbrook Meadows in 2009 to honor his legacy. The garden was opened by Tutu himself in 2009 and is a space for community and reflection

THE RINGWAY CENTRE. Prefabs!
The Ringway Centre was established in 1980s, after the GPCG obtained planning permission to put two ex-GLC prefabs on the site.
It was named The Ringway Centre, as stopping The Ringway motorway was a key reason which had first brought the community together and why the Grove Park Community Group (GPCG) was later established. It was also the site where the motorway would have crossed, had the plans gone ahead.
