River Thames Riverside Walk Strategy -
City of London

Arising from a public consultation exercise and documentary film the project seeks to make improvements and interventions into the only cover space along the City of Londons Riverside Walk.

The project will be completed on-site by March 2007 and represents a close working relationship between the City of London's Street Scene team and The Facility. Extensive consultation with adjoining neighbours and Network Rail's licencing department were required.
