De Beauvoir Square
De Beauvoir Square is a classically laid out garden square and is protected under the London Squares Preservation Act of 1931. The square consists of beautiful rose beds and lawn areas as well as a children’s play area and is host to a number of small neighbourhood events.
The Square was awarded a Green Flag award in 2009. The Green Flag Award Scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country. Hackney currently has nine Green Flags - one of the highest totals in London.
The De Beauvoir Association
The De Beauvoir Association champions local issues and has a loose membership and a committee elected at an AGM. The group publishes a newsletter that is distributed throughout the area about four times a year and also has a calendar of social events.
