8 February 2024

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Estates is working with Camden Council on a public realm project on the northside of Gordon Square, directly outside of the Institute of Archaeology.

, this projectÌýincludes a new public space and a two-way cycle lane, and forms a key piece in investigations into pedestrianisingÌýGordon Street. The addition of this new public realm space links into the Camden Council Green Corridor, which will provide walking and cycling routes from Euston Road to the Thames River.

To outline and shape this new space, fixed chairs, tables and planters will be installed. When complete, the space created will allow a communal space for socialising and relaxing.ÌýThe use of plants along the perimeter of the cycle lane focuses on using design to incorporate safety,Ìýand this division will create two clearly marked zones that protect the flow of the cycle lane and keep pedestrians safe.

David Young, Senior Project Manager of Capital Projects, said, ‘We are really excited about this collaborative project between ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Estates and Camden Council. The transformation of this road into a quality place to stop, rest and reflect supports ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s ongoing commitment to connect with the local community and also make a positive contribution to local biodiversity.’

Moving forwards, this space will be maintained by ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Estates. We are looking forward to the launch of the new space in spring 2024 and continuing to work with Camden Council to enhance the local area for our students, residents, and visitors.
