At Herne Hill Velodrome, the timber structure has been sensitively redesigned and refurbished, securing a long-term future for the historic sporting venue.

Herne Hill Velodrome, the UK’s oldest velodrome and home of track cycling in London for over 120 years, was sensitively redesigned and refurbished to secure its long-term future. Publicly accessible, the restored timber structure houses a community pavilion with views onto the track, a covered activities space and step free access throughout.

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.
