How can we make London better?
We love London, but there’s always room for improvement. Marking the 40th edition of New London Quarterly, the NLA asked for ‘the best blue-sky but workable concepts to improve the city, expressed, where possible, as a pencil or pen sketch on a napkin’. Fathom answered the call, with a range of ideas.
Inspired by the climate protest bridge closures, let’s create a sustainable garden bridge by closing an existing one to traffic and planting it up with trees and grasses. Or a cycle lane for people who don’t wear Lycra and want a more leisurely commute. Floating parks edging the river. Or a fast lane in pubs for ‘professional’ drinkers (order the Guinness first, no cocktails, no sampling before you choose). Let’s enjoy our City.
