  • A New Green Walking Route for London Connecting Bishopsgate with the Lea Valley and Beyond
    A New Green Walking Route for London Connecting Bishopsgate with the Lea Valley and Beyond Initiated by the East London Garden Society and supported by CPRE London Project Introduction The Great Eastern Parks Route is a green link that connects various parks and gardens across East London. The route begins in Shoreditch, at the Bishopsgate Goodsyard, and utilises the disused railway viaduct to connect with Tower Hamlets and Newham, where The River Lea meets The River Thames. The Great Eastern Parks Route aims to provide nature adventure through East London, by providing safe routes for walking and cycling, and promoting clean air and biophillic connection. The East London Garden Society aim to include a Permaculture Education Centre and a Bee School within the Shoreditch Forest Garden to encourage community cohesion and provide opportunities and education about the health and environmental benefits of gardening. The Great Eastern Parks Route emerged from negotiations with developers Hammerson and Ballymore to include the Shoreditch Forest Garden in their plans for the Bishopsgate Goodsyard. Bishopsgate Goodsyard Development is contractually bound to create a community park for the benefit of the public realm. The forest garden is located on top of the railway arches in Bishopsgate and will be the largest in Europe spanning a mile in length. The Great Eastern Parks Route - Brochure 01 Project Background What? London is blessed with many beautiful green spaces and the east end is no exception. We now have an amazing opportunity to improve and extend green spaces in east London by connecting them up to form a ‘green chain’ walking trail from the eastern edge of City of London to the Lea Valley and beyond.

    The London Plan Sub-Regional Development Framework East London May 2006 The London Plan Sub-Regional Development Framework East London May 2006 copyright Greater London Authority May 2006 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk More London London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4100 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN 1 85261 873 6 This document is printed on recycled paper. Foreword East London is my priority area for development, regeneration and infrastructure improvement. This SRDF brings together a wide range of data and information about East London. It suggests a range of actions that boroughs and others should take to help implement the London Plan. This SRDF includes snapshots of the potential of East London’s thirteen ‘Opportunity Areas’ and three ‘Areas for Intensification’. The scale of change that will come to East London over the next 20 years will be dramatic. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the development of East London as a whole will bring substantial benefits to the area in terms of transport, tourism, sports infrastructure and the economy. The Olympic Games themselves will set a high standard for development and help transform the image of East London as a place to live, work and visit. This Sub-Regional Development Framework places much emphasis on the need to co­ ordinate the provision not only of new housing, but of transport infrastructure, schools and local shops, and new or enhanced green spaces. I am determined that new developments coming to East London should benefit the people of what has been one of the poorest parts of the United Kingdom for the last 150 years.
