Cornmill Gardens

Built

A new public realm space in Lewisham town centre. For a coherent approach, 'character zones' linked by avenues responding to the main circulation routes were developed.

Cornmill Gardens has created a new public realm space in Lewisham town centre. For a coherent approach, 'character zones' linked by avenues responding to the main circulation routes were developed. A town square area has been created as a major circulation space from the transport hub and future developments. The previously blocked off rail arches have been opened up to contribute to a friendly and busy piazza style environment, providing Lewisham with the flexibility to hold events.

This project is featured alongside our Public London: Activating the City insight study. The publication, exhibition and online project directory explore what constitutes a successful and democratic public realm today, the role of co‑creation and partnerships, and how we can ensure that places are fit‑for‑purpose in the long term.
