If you’ve ever wondered what happens when one of London’s largest brownfield sites is reimagined with a focus on nature, the answer has the potential to be Earls Court. In October 2025, Natural England visited this 44-acre regeneration site in west London.
Hosted by Ewan Oliver, Public Realm Development Manager and Peter Runacres, Head of Urban Futures of the Earls Court Development Company (ECDC), the visit offered a proper look behind the hoardings of the site that once housed London’s legendary exhibition halls.
Today, ECDC are showcasing plans for a landscape led masterplan — the sort that seeks to balance 4,000 homes, 12,000 jobs, and 20 acres of public realm with a clear commitment to restoring nature in this densely developed part of London.
