West Midlands "Heart of Landscape" and London?

An interesting example of attempts to implement the European Landscape convention is the West Midlands Heart of Landscape website , which facilitates public participation in landscape policies by allowing folk to highlight aspects that they like. There's also a "Heart of Landscape" booklet  to accompany the website and provide policy background.

Where are the opportunities for Londoners to express their priorities about the London Landscape?  Are not the 7million+ Londoners denied their treaty-rights to participate in Landscape Policies, by law? and mightn't this be actionable by court action in Europe?  London better get it's act together.

Meanwhile, Laura Oldfield Ford's Psychogeographic Blog provides one of the few inciteful commentaries on the London Landscape
