Steel frame to support leaning Grotto ruins in Wanstead Park

Work is underway to install a steel frame to support the Grotto ruins in Wanstead Park.

“The top of the Grotto is leaning; we need to stabilise it to ensure it remains secure. The steel frame will have minimal impact on existing brickwork and can be beneficial for any future restoration work,” said a City of London Corporation spokesperson.

The pathway behind the 18th-century landmark will be closed until project completion at the end of March. “Due to ground conditions, we will not be able to open the path at weekends.”
