Plans for a London High Line

Camden Gardens (Camden High Line)

Camden is in the market to join the Highline family. Freight operators in London may be at odds with the plan, but a well-organised lobby group would like to see disused tracks reborn as an urban park to rival the best in the world. The proposals however are at odds with Network Rail ambitions to provide additional capacity for growing freight traffic across the north of London.

A park such as one similar to the Highline in NY would be totally inappropriate at the venue stipulated near Camden, as adjacent lines are used continuously. The NY “park” which is great was taken over & developed from a totally disused line over buildings, roads/streets. Not the same at all.
