Camden Highline is a new park on the disused railway viaduct running from Camden Town to King’s Cross.
Camden Council, LabTech, the King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership, and Camden Town Unlimited have together invested £750,000 to support the design of the Camden Highline. As Camden businesses prepare to reopen and welcome visitors back, the borough’s future has been given a significant boost thanks to new funding for the Camden Highline from leading local businesses. Their funding will support the Camden Highline as it progresses to the next phases of its design development and public engagement.
The Camden Highline will not only reconnect local people to their town centres, but also become a visitor attraction in its own right, bringing Londoners and international visitors back to Camden. The Highline will also create a walking link between the commercial centres of Camden Town and King’s Cross.
The Highline is expected to bring quantified benefits of £225M, including £16M of new visitor spending, £5.5M in health and wellbeing benefits and 316 new jobs. The appointed designers Field Operations have brought together a multidisciplinary team which includes newly emerging local talent and internationally experienced firms, working together to design the Camden Highline as a high-quality resident amenity and ground-breaking visitor’s destination.
