NEW LONDON AWARDS 2021

Shortlisted in the MEANWHILE category and Winner in the WORKING category
Hackney Bridge, located within the Olympic Park, is a meanwhile creative hub and public destination, comprised of five buildings arranged around a central courtyard, and is inspired by the industrial & creative heritage of the area.
The site will eventually be developed as part of the Olympic Legacy Plan for housing, but the interim period of 12 years will allow the site to support start-ups and offer opportunities for a diverse mix of local people on the Olympic Park and surrounding neighbourhoods through its mix of workspace, public facilities, events spaces, markets, restaurants, and bars.
