Superbloom

The planting scheme for the Superbloom has been selected to provide visitors with a different experience whenever they visit, vibrant with colour and buzzing with life. Not only will there be this swoosh of floral impact wrapping the Tower but the journey through the Moat will be punctuated by additional moments and interventions; from the giant slide at the entrance to Quists’ swarm of metal insects at the exit, through multiple unique photo opportunities, an evocative soundscape by Erland Cooper and moody evening lighting by Nipek. The experience is all underpinned by a common thread of woven willow that frames the flowers and twists up into the memorable outlook and ‘Nest’ by artist Spencer Jenkins.

Perhaps most importantly, HRP have said this is just the beginning of a new landscape setting for the Moat that will set it up to play a more important role in the green infrastructure of Tower Hamlets and London going forward. It is set to serve as an escape for the local community, a must-see visitor attraction and a haven for wildlife, especially pollinators and birdlife. A project to inspire and inform the transformation of multiple underperforming green spaces across the UK and abroad.
