A US firm will design the Camden Highline after winning an international competition for the ‘park in the sky’ connecting Camden Town to King’s Cross.
Field Operations, which was behind the New York High Line that inspired the Camden project, will lead on the £35 million elevated park stretching between Camden Gardens and York Way.
The project, which was started by Camden Town Unlimited in 2017, will create a walking route eight metres above the ground using three quarters of a mile of disused railway. The first phase of the scheme is scheduled to open in 2024.
