Camden Nature Corridor

Creating one of London’s new “nature recovery networks”, the Corridor will make nature on the Heath more resilient to growing pressure from people and climate change, while bringing health-enhancing wildlife experiences to residents in some of the most nature-poor parts of our Borough.Click to read more..

Plaques in Hampstead

Gerald Swyer (1917-1995)

Gerald Swyer pioneered many advances in reproductive medicine including the development of the contraceptive pill in the 1950s. Later, many women who would have remained childless, were able to conceive thanks to his extraordinary work on fertility. The development of hormone replacement therapy, and the identification of a rare genetic condition which became known as Swyer Syndrome, are all a critical part of his enduring legacy.
