London to turn disused rail viaduct into its own High Line

London calling.

“We’re hoping to build an amazing park in the sky,” said Simon Pitkeathley, who is spearheading the project, as he led locals on a regular street-level tour of the planned walkway.

The US raised walkway, built on former track on the west side of Manhattan, has become a major destination since opening in 2009 and underwent a recent extension.James Corner has promised the Camden project will be a “one-of-a-kind elevated park along the viaduct that speaks to the magical symbiosis of nature, culture, arts and community”.

‘ going to be a pleasant, beautiful environment in which to move between these very vibrant parts of London,’ says Pitkeathley, chief executive of Camden High Line. The Camden team has agreed to a long-term lease for the Victorian-era viaduct from Network Rail, which owns 20,000 miles of track and 30,000 bridges, tunnels and other structures, as well as stations.The Highline will incorporate derelict platforms at Camden Road station and a shuttered stairway entrance to it – one of several envisaged entries along the route.
