Civic Engineers helped deliver the 1 km length park thoroughfare, which changes in character, responding to and forming the seam between Tower Hamlets, Hackney Wick and Olympic Park.

Designed for its role in the London Olympics development programme, the space functions between the development constraints relating to a pair of 42” Thames Water trunk mains that traverse its full length.

The park changes in character along its length, responding to the prevailing future uses, geography and functionality in each section. The scale of the park involved negotiations with
interested parties where we led the discussions with a large number of these stakeholders, incorporating their needs into the final design.

Post games, next to the waterway independent maker-retailers, cafés, bars and restaurants make the Canalside a great location to meet, eat and relax.
These shops and restaurants line the Lee Navigation canal, providing a lively backdrop to a range of desirable amenities and a positive community environment.
