Tourists arriving from Waterloo duration of the Southbank Place construction period Station seeking the Eye or other popular (estimated 4 to 5 years) for pedestrians and cyclists. destinations on the often struggle to identify and navigate the fastest, most efficient route, mainly because of A temporary wayfinding strategy for the site will need to take the poor layout and legibility of the environment. account of the following areas and will require coordination with various stakeholders: The following measures will further impact on movement and navigation around the development site during the • The Public Realm surrounding the construction construction period: (TfL and London Borough of ) • The station (LUL) • Narrowing of Sutton Walk caused by the hoarding line • Waterloo Mainline station (Network Rail) • Closure of the Underground station entrance on York Road • Closure of through routes across the development site • Removal of the pedestrian bridge linking Waterloo station with the South Bank

The Temporary Wayfinding Strategy will need to emphasise the most efficient routes to a range of destinations from pedestrian exits at Waterloo Station (Mainline Rail and Underground) and will also need to consider movements within the stations. Legible London signs already installed in the local area may require relocating and/or updating, and additional information should be incorporated on the hoarding to highlight the most direct walk routes to surrounding attractions such as the . Towards Sutton Walk

Closures of the footways/bus lane will impact on various modal operations in the wider South Bank area. For example, Sutton Walk as the primary route between Waterloo Station and the South Bank attractions, will see an increase in pedestrian footfall. As well as leveraging existing signage – including Legible London – hoardings provide an excellent, high visibility opportunity to communicate with pedestrians.

The temporary extension of this line will create a ‘pinch point’ on what will become the major route between Waterloo Station and the South Bank.

Signage Audit

A comprehensive audit of existing wayfinding signage in the area immediately surrounding the Southbank Place development was undertaken. The audit took account of all existing pedestrian wayfinding structures that will be affected by the development. Our findings are summarised as follows: • Legible London is used throughout the South Bank and Waterloo area and is located on the immediate edges of the development site. • The Legible London scheme will aid the movement of pedestrians during and after construction. • A total of five pedestrian wayfinding structures will be directly affected by the implementation of the construction hoarding, including four Legible London totems. • Legible London structures requiring relocation will need map, directional and header panel information updating. • Locations for the proposed relocation of structures are presented in this document. • Three TfL Cycle Docking stations are located on the edges of the development - two on Concert Hall Approach and one on Belvedere Road - which will support pedestrian wayfinding around the site.

Locations for proposed relocation of structures are included in this document • A further sign structure on Sutton Walk owned by The South Bank Centre and containing South Bank Centre event and cultural information will also require removal and relocation. • Additional pedestrian wayfinding information applied to the construction hoardings will be required to support movement around the site. • Pedestrians should be encouraged to use Sutton Walk as the main connecting route to and from South Bank destinations including The London Eye. • Legible London structures requiring relocation will need map, directional and header panel information updating Legible London mapping will require updating

Hoarding Concept Design

The proposed concept for the application of wayfinding to the hoardings uses the Legible London graphic language to direct to destinations in the local area. Southbank Centre Graphics would typically be printed onto Dibond BFI Southbank which is widely used for this type of application. The London Eye

The proposed sign types are widely used across London construction sites and are easily recognisable by road users. Lambeth Cyclists, the Lambeth branch of the London Cycling Campaign were consulted during the project and have endorsed our approach of information sharing and awareness raising as opposed to diversions.
