We also manage other important public spaces including Brompton Cemetery and Victoria Tower Gardens. Our eight Royal Parks and other public spaces are among the most visited attractions in the UK with tens of millions of visits every year.
We are now looking for casual Retail Assistants to join our team in our first flagship shop, the Boat House.

  This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, customer-focused individual looking for a role in a stunning location with our flourishing organisation.

  Found beside the Serpentine lake, our Boat House shop offers a wide range of sustainable, high quality products and product ranges with a modern twist. From keepsakes to outdoor accessories, we are proud of our ethically sourced ranges and products from UK manufacturers, the majority of which are recyclable or have re-purposed elements.
