UK Lottery Funds Meditation in the Park 2011

On Sunday, June 26th 2011, an estimated 2500 people will come along to Meditation in the Park in one of London's best kept secrets, Russia Dock Woodland (SE16 zone 2, Jubilee and Overground lines), an ecological park built on top of the old South London docks which boasts Green Flag status and the nearest Kingfisher and Pyramidal Orchard to central London.

The only requirement is to bring a homemade picnic in order to win one of the many prizes which include gourmet fruits, breads, olive oils and other foods from Borough Market and quality kitchen appliances from Tesco.
