Abbey Orchard, located near Westminster Abbey, was shortlisted in the Transformation category and Goldsmith's Close in East Acton was shortlisted in the Resident Engagement category. 

The awards scheme focuses on the best green social housing projects constructed in the UK, and the organisations responsible for them. The trophies will be presented at an awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane on 23 October.

Peabody chief executive Stephen Howlett said: "Abbey Orchard and Goldsmith's Close are examples of what can be achieved when housing associations and residents work together to create a greener, better functioning environment for everyone. We are very proud that they have been recognised.

"Over the next 10 years, we plan to invest over £40m regenerating the open spaces of our estates across London, creating landscapes that are greener, safer and that inspire pride and a sense of ownership among residents."
