On March 21, three prominent Turkish Cypriot politicians in the UK Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy Mete Coban MBE, Haringey Council Leader Peray Ahmet, and Chair of the Alexandra Palace and Park Board, Haringey Councillor Emine Ibrahim gathered at the historic Alexandra Palace. Their visit focused on sustainability, net-zero ambitions, and the environmental future of one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

They were joined by Cllr Mike Hakata, Haringey Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment, and Transport, along with Alexandra Palace board members.

Alexandra Palace, a cultural and historical gem in North London, is one of 19,000 listed buildings in the capital. It hosts numerous events, concerts, and public gatherings throughout the year.

During the visit, board members toured the venue with the Deputy Mayor, examining ongoing green initiatives and exploring new strategies to reduce the site’s carbon footprint. Discussions centred on implementing long-term sustainability measures to align with net-zero targets.

In a statement Alexander palace stated “Sustainability initiatives have already cut the Palace’s carbon emissions by 29% in the last five years. However, we are now utilising the Zero Carbon Accelerator to identify the long-term improvements, and funding, that are required to realise the Net Zero target.”

Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy Mete Coban, said:“Retrofitting listed buildings to make them greener is no easy task, so it’s fantastic to see Ally Pally, the People’s Palace, leading the way with bold environmental targets and making use of our Zero Carbon Accelerator to help achieve them. Their sustainability efforts aren’t just about protecting an iconic venue; they’re delivering real, tangible benefits for Londoners – cutting emissions, improving energy efficiency, and creating a greener, fairer city. And that’s exactly what the green transition is all about – taking action today to build a more sustainable London for everyone.”

Haringey Council is supporting Alexandra Palace as part of efforts to make Haringey net zero carbon by 2041. Cllr Peray Ahmet, Leader of Haringey Council, said: “…I am delighted that our partnership is inspiring the community to turn carbon cutting ideas into reality and is helping us to deliver on our pledge to become a net zero borough.”

Cllr Emine Ibrahim, Chair of Trustees at Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, says: “We’re proud of the affection people have for Ally Pally, and have successfully developed our spaces and programmes so that they are benefitting more people than ever before.”

“However, being 150 years old comes with its challenges. We’re older than the invention of the lightbulb and bigger than Buckingham Palace, and like so many of London’s famous landmarks, we weren’t built with the climate crisis in mind. We firmly believe we can be part of the solution though. We don’t just want people to think of us as the big, fun Palace on the hill; we want to be the big, fun, green Palace on the hill.

“As a charity we’ve already begun taking the action we can to reduce our impact on the environment. But the next step is to identify the long term, truly transformational projects. It’s an exciting opportunity and we’re grateful to the Deputy Mayor and the GLA team for their support through the Accelerator. It recognises the symmetry between our own Net Zero plans and the Mayor’s visionary targets for London.”

Recent sustainability initiatives at the Palace include updating heating systems, reducing gas consumption, replacing lighting with low energy LEDs – via funding from Haringey Council’s Community Carbon Fund – and upgrading lighting systems in the Palace’s ice rink and West Hall. The Deputy Mayor tour of the Palace incorporated these projects, as well as visiting the venue’s restored Victorian Theatre, which features an exemplar passive cooling system.
