Designs for Arch 42 gateways in Nine Elms

Overview

Wandsworth Council has joined forces with the London Festival of Architecture to create attractive gateways to a historic railway arch which is set to become a key public route to the Northern Line Extension.

Six architecture and design practices have been shortlisted and have produced design proposals for the railway arch which will be opened up as a new public route near New Covent Garden Market. The new gateways at each entrance of this ‘Arch 42’ will improve the visibility of the new walking and cycling route connecting the existing and emerging neighbourhoods around the railway line and reflect the vitality of the area.

Please see where the arch is going to be located on the map below:
