Welcome to the RedFrog Association
The RedFrog Association represents residents of the Redington Frognal Conservation Area (London NW3) and its immediate surroundings.
RedFrog aims to maintain and improve the quality of life for our residents. Our work includes planning, roads and pavements, traffic and the school run, trees and wildlife. We liaise with Camden Council, Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, local schools and businesses and developers.
Healthy School Streets updates:
March 2026: two timed restrictions are now in place near St Margaret’s School, Kidderpore Gardens and St Lukes School, Kidderpore Avenue on Mondays to Fridays, during school term time only. These changes will be in place for an 18-month trial period, but not enforced over Bank Holidays and school holidays. More details on the trial and the specific time restrictions are available from Safe Travel Camden here.
August 2025: the recent consultation on Healthy School Streets for St Margaret’s School and St Luke’s CoE School was approved for a trial. This means that Healthy School Streets will be implemented around the two schools including Ferncroft Avenue, Kidderpore Gardens, and sections of Kidderpore Avenue and Hollycroft Avenue.

Latest news on the O2 Development Proposal
As of March 2026, Landsec has submitted revised plans to reduce the affordable housing provision to 20% (approx. 360 units) from the previously agreed 35%. The masterplan still aims to build 1,800 homes, new green spaces, and a new health centre. More details on the latest submission are available here.
In February 2026 Camden held a Drop-In session followed by a Community Meeting and at the O2 Centre. Findings from these are now available directly from the O2 Masterplan website here: https://o2centremasterplan.commonplace.is/
March 2025: Comments were closed on the consultation over the revised O2 development plans, application reference 2025/0484/P. The updated 2025 plans added two storeys to three of the tallest blocks and extra storeys to five other blocks, taking the tallest block to 17 storeys, with two at 16 storey blocks. Historic England has previously commented that, “The volume and scale of the development means that there is a harmful impact to designated heritage assets through development within their setting.” Further details can be found at O2 Site Development page.

2021 Referendum on the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Plan
At the Neighbourhood Forum EGM of 18 March 2020, it was unanimously agreed to formally submit the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Plan (Submission version), the Basic Conditions Statement and the Consultation Statement to Camden Council. On Thursday 17th June 2021 you could have your say by voting.
Update: Results of the vote
RedFrog is delighted to report the result of the referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan was:
88% voted Yes, in favour of Camden using the neighbourhood plan to to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area.
This means that future development should preserve or enhance the Area’s architectural heritage and contribute to greening the neighbourhood. We are grateful to many for input and help – from the Forum Committee to our ward councillors, residents who helped with publicity and, particularly, all those who voted Yes. The Committee will now monitor implementation of the policies.
More details and updates on the Neighbourhood Plan are available here.
