Fifteen years ago, around this time, Green Lens Studios hosted its very first shoot in our newly converted space on Atterbury Road. What followed was an incredible journey—exhibitions, film screenings, creative courses, bike rides, workshops, and community events—all unfolding against the vibrant backdrop of Haringey.
Now, we’re thrilled to mark 15 years of Green Lens with a celebration in true GLS style. We’ll be hosting a series of special events—think delicious food, community bike rides, inspiring talks with industry experts, art (lots of it!), and, of course, music. Expect some joyful surprises along the way.
One of our highlights: a bike ride along a classic route we’ve taken many times before, tracing the calm beauty of River Lea—a perfect moment to slow down, connect with nature, and share the journey with old friends and new faces alike.
We’ll also be offering a series of educational events, including hands-on workshops and thought-provoking talks led by creatives and sustainability advocates. Whether you’re looking to gain new skills, exchange ideas, or simply be inspired, there’ll be something for everyone.
Anniversary Program Highlights:
11.05.2025 — Community Spring Bike Ride
One of our highlights - a joyful, slow-paced community bike ride through the green corridors of North London. Open to all ages and abilities, this ride celebrates sustainability, local connection, and the shared spirit that fuels Green Lens. We’ll start and end at the studio, with rest stops, snacks, and a chance to chat with fellow riders along the way.
15.05.2025 — Climate Film Screening
We’re hosting a screening of Chasing Ice, the award-winning documentary by Jeff Orlowski. Through breathtaking time-lapse footage, it captures the urgency of climate change in a way that’s both powerful and poetic.
30.06.2025 — Anniversary Exhibition Opening
We’ll be celebrating 15 years of creativity at Green Lens with a group exhibition featuring artists who have shaped our space. Expect photography, installation, and multimedia works that speak to memory, transformation, and community.
Stay tuned for the full schedule—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
