Forever In Our Hearts Celebrate the life of a loved one with a beautiful tribute this spring, while supporting North London Hospice. northlondonhospice.org

This year, North London Hospice is proud to announce our inaugural Forever In Our Hearts appeal. For a donation, you can order a decorative ironwork heart in memory of a loved one.

The hearts will be displayed in the tranquil gardens at West Lodge Park (Cockfosters Road, Hadley Wood, Enfield) in April 2024, where the collective beauty of these tributes can be experienced against the backdrop of the hotel’s peaceful grounds.

A special way to commemorate your loved one, these handcrafted pieces can be personalised with a name or message of your choice and following the communal display, are yours to keep forever.

The Forever In Our Hearts garden promises to be a special place and we hope that visiting will offer a moment of comfort and calm this Spring.

There are 500 hearts available and we’d love each one to be dedicated to someone special. Every dedication is a donation to support North London Hospice and for a suggested donation of £43, your dedication to remember someone special will feature in the installation.

To dedicate a heart in memory of a loved one, visit

North London Hospice staff will be on site to welcome you to the garden on Saturday 6 April 9am-12noon and Sunday 7 April 9am-12noon and during these times will be available to show you the location of your dedication.

The display will remain in place until Friday 12 April for all West Lodge Park visitors and guests to enjoy.

The charming restaurant and bar at West Lodge Park welcome guests every day for breakfast, coffee, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. Reservations are highly recommended; kindly reach out to the hotel at 020 8216 3900.

After the display week is finished, you will be able to take your personalised ironwork heart home, creating a lasting symbol of love and cherished memories.

The hearts can be collected from West Lodge Park on Saturday 13 April or Sunday 14 April between 10am and 12noon. After that date all hearts will be kept safely at North London Hospice and we will contact you to arrange collection.

Thereafter they remain with you, creating a lasting symbol of love and cherished memories.

The best of life, at the end of life, for everyone.

North London Hospice cares for over 3,500 patients with a life-limiting illness every year and provides support for their families, friends and carers.

We are the local hospice for Barnet, Enfield and Haringey and have been supporting our community since 1984. Our mission is to help our patients live life to the full despite their illness.

We are a charity and our services are provided free of charge.

It costs £15.9m to fund our care. With around 40% of our funding coming from the NHS, we rely on the generosity of our community to fund our work through donations and fundraising.

The suggested minimum donation is £43, which is the average hourly cost of a nurse on our inpatient unit. These nurses are part of the team that provides 24-hour specialist care at our inpatient unit in Finchley, offering short-term admissions to address complex needs, as well as providing care for patients in the last days of life. Our aim is to help patients maintain their independence and dignity in a warm and supportive environment.

For your information: The hearts are handmade by The Old Smithy in Lincolnshire and measure 18x20cm and are displayed on a 95cm garden stake.

They are handcrafted ironwork and have a light varnish for added protection. The hearts will slowly age and gain a beautiful patina and blend in naturally in your garden.

www.oldsmithynorthlincs.co.uk The creation of the Forever In Our Hearts garden is made possible through the gracious support of Beales Hotels and West Lodge Park.
