British Waterways London appointed Lathams in September 2009 to prepare a masterplan for the 1.8km stretch of the Regent’s Canal,
either side of King’s Cross Central development zone.
The brief’s stated objectives are as follows:
To regenerate, refresh and reawaken interest in the stretch of canal, from the stunning west portal of the Islington Tunnel in the east, to the Constitution Public House (NW1) in the west.
A masterplan is sought for the whole area, together with outline designs for up to 12 sub projects to be taken forward.
The objective of the masterplan is to outline how the canal corridor can be sympathetically enhanced over the coming years to deliver the joint vision of the stakeholders.
