Welcome to the Calthorpe Project

A Green Oasis in King's Cross

The Calthorpe Project is a unique building integrally linked to a small, multi-use green space on the Grays Inn Road in London's King's Cross.

The Project offers a varied programme of activities for children and adults, including gardening classes for adults with learning difficulties, an under 5s drop-in and ESOL classes with crèche. The site also includes a one-acre organic community garden for local people to tend and a floodlit sports pitch for hire (marked for netball and five-a-side football).

The Calthorpe Project is coordinating a delivery of organic fruit and vegetables every two weeks.

We have a special community price from the suppliers.

Please give us a ring if you are interested. Call Louise or Mila on 020 7837 8019.

Calthorpe Project : Annual General Meeting

followed by a Thanksgiving buffet.

You can also find out about the Friday Programme for our Youth Group here.


Occasional visitors are very welcome to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Project's gardens and open space during daylight hours.

The site was initially established in 1984 after local people fought to save it from development. The purpose built community centre and meeting venue is constructed using highly innovative and sustainable building techniques.
