The objectives of the Society are:

• To encourage high standards of architecture and town planning in St John’s Wood.
• To stimulate public interest in and care for the beauty, history and character of St John’s Wood.
• To encourage the conservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity, historical interest and the natural environment in St John’s Wood and improve its social and cultural wellbeing.

The Society is also involved in issues affecting licensing, traffic and parking which all have a significant impact on our lives.

Whilst all of our trustees are voluntary, gifts and bequests are most gratefully received and every penny goes to furthering the charitable causes of the Society for our community.

In support of our objectives, we get involved with local community issues such as:

• commenting on all planning applications made in the area to ensure that they enhance the Conservation Area 
• ensuring our streets are clean and clear of rubbish influencing environmental issues such as air quality, transportation and trees
• challenging matters that will adversely impact on St John’s Wood
• supporting local community facilities like the Adventure Playground, SJW Hospice, pubs 
• holding events for all our members from cultural walks to summer drinks parties
• promoting local shops and businesses with publicity and our discount scheme 
• promoting constructive dialogue with local residents, businesses, elected representatives, land owners, developers, and any other interested parties.
