Camden Highline set to follow New York and revitalise London’s disused rails

Imagined by London-based firms Studio Weave and Architecture 00, this project for a temporary public park across the disused North London Railway follows rapidly in the wake of the highly successful New York High Line which saw a similarly disused part of the city’s rail network transformed into a public walkway and garden. The 0.8km stretch of railway links Camden with Kings Cross station and currently stands as an eyesore in an otherwise culturally vibrant part of the city.

The proposal would regenerate the line and make use of several bridges along the route, providing chill-out spots, and new pedestrian/cycle routes 8m off the ground to further help avoid the traffic below. 

Looking forward to it.
