Landscape Architect In London for Planning, Design and Technical Support

Clear thinking. Careful design. Client-first service.

Landscape Ally is a London-based, Landscape Institute Registered Practice founded by Christopher Wright CMLI, a Chartered Landscape Architect with over a decade of experience across residential development, urban regeneration and public realm projects.

We work with architects, developers, planning consultants and private clients across London, the South East and the South of England, combining thoughtful design, planning expertise and practical technical knowledge to create clear, considered landscape proposals.

  • Landscape Ally brings together creative landscape design, planning awareness and practical technical knowledge.

    We care about sustainable, responsible and well-made places. We also believe good landscape architecture should make the process better for the client.

    That means listening carefully, responding quickly, adapting to changing project needs and understanding the pressures that sit behind every brief, from planning risk and programme demands to budget, coordination and delivery.

    The result is landscape architecture that is thoughtful, useful and focused on helping projects progress.
