Notice Title

Camden Highline: a new public park and garden walk, transforming the elevated railway between Camden Town and King's Cross into a green artery for London.

Notice Description

This is a contract to engage a design team for the design of Camden Highline.Railway viaducts and bridges are an integral part of Camden Town's history and identity. The beauty of the Camden Highline project is that it brings these structures to life, reimagining what is already a distinctive neighbourhood and making use of spaces that are otherwise redundant and inaccessible to the public.The Camden Highline is modelled on the hugely successful New York High Line and comprises a new public park and garden walk, transforming the elevated railway between Camden Town and King's Cross into a new green artery for London. The aim is that the Highline will be a beacon for positive and sustainable development in the city: something that people will be inspired by, learn from and enjoy; an intervention that is harmonious within its neighbourhood.The Highline will be open and free to all, a beautiful and welcoming linear garden, punctuated with seating areas, cafes, arts and cultural interventions and spaces for charitable activities, to further enhance the individuality of the experience and help promote social cohesion.The Highline will be 1.2km long, running some 8-metres above the ground, its width varies from 3-metres at its narrowest, to 20-metres at its widest. It will run parallel but separate to the active North London Line, through residential and industrial areas, as well as conservation areas. It will create a unique garden walk, offering an unfamiliar and unique perspective on the city, away from the hustle bustle of the streets below. It will link the hugely popular Camden Market to the rapidly developing King's Cross development, in a little over ten minutes. Starting at Kentish Town Road to the West, and ending at York Way to the East, the route has four proposed entrances, one of which could include access directly from the Grade II listed Camden Road Overground station and another that integrates with the proposed Camley Street redevelopment. It comprises three distinct sections, some wider than others, which would naturally suggest a phased design and delivery plan, depending on funding.The expected project cost is in the region of GBP 35m.
