Headline findings A fundamental requirement of a neighbourhood plan is a strong evidence base; this Overall there is a desire among residents to preserve what they love most about the supports not only the credibility of the plan, but also justifies policy. This document sets neighbourhood, its tranquility and sense of community. This desire for continuity extends the evidence base, and is structured around the key topics identified at the Camley Street to the distribution of land uses in the neighbourhood; the majority of residents support Neighbourhood Forum AGM on 16th June 2015. The topic themes are, its function as a place of employment and feel the strength in light industrial activity of various sorts should be supported. - Environmental Quality Looking to the future, they would like to see - Public safety • the strong community spirit that currently exists to be strengthened through the provi- - Development sion of improved social infrastructure and commercial leisure (pubs, cafes and restaurants) - Local business to generate more ‘life’ - Employment • the green spaces in the neighbourhood to be improved to create a public realm that invites more active use and can provide a safe and comfortable environment for walking - Public realm and cycling - Transport • the provision of housing that is affordable for people on average London incomes - Housing • a greater level of integration between the land uses - Social life • while the area feels safe to most people, there is concern about small-scale criminality - Governance and anti-social behaviour, such as drug dealing and fly-tipping. - Economic Deprivation, Health and Wellbeing Camley Street is a small neighbourhood, and should not attempt to be self-sufficient, but a clear distinction should be drawn between those services that should be provided within a five minute walk of people’s homes (inside the neighbourhood) and others that can exist beyond the neighbourhood boundaries. In the provision of key services, it is important to note the increase in the population size that will come as a result of new development make the provision of adequate social and commercial infrastructure fundamental. Considering each of the policy sections in turn, 4 Executive Summary Environmental quality forced relocation would inflict a significant social as well as economic cost.

There is, however, an appetite for in Camley Street enjoy walking. The evidence complied makes a compelling argument for greater use of the street scape for play and other forms of cultural activity but it is not policy that promotes improvement of the public realm. considered safe. For example, a great majority of people say they would like to see chil- dren able to to play in the streets, but that the speed and volume of traffic forbids this. Transport Development As we have identified, walking and the use of public transport characterise the way people move about in Camley Street. In addition, there is low car ownership.

It’s location at the meeting point of road, canal and rail has shaped its history, and this can be seen today in the old buildings and the layout of the streets. Here’s a taste. The gasholders have been a feature of the King’s Cross skyline for over 150 years. Today, without any gas to hold, they are being put to a whole new use. The decorative cast iron frame of Gasholder No. 8 has been painstakingly restored and moved to a new home north of the canal. Here it will house a park with paths leading down to Regent’s Canal. Built in 1852, King’s Cross station was the London hub of the Great Northern Railway and the terminus of the East Coast main line. Designed by Lewis Cubitt, at the time it was the last word in functional modernity. The beautiful Victorian structure, long hidden behind a modern façade, has now been revealed. Designed by Edward Gruning in 1864 for the German Gymnastics Society, this was the first purpose-built gymnasium of its kind in England. It was the venue for the first National Olympic Games in 1866 and was influential in the development of Named after the Roman martyr British athletics.

  • Script of London Canal Museum's Audio Tour of the Regent's Canal
    Script of London Canal Museum’s Audio Tour of the Regent’s Canal Towpath from Camden Locks to London Canal Museum This script is provided primarily for the benefit of people with impaired hearing The audio tour may be downloaded in MP3 format from www.canalmuseum.org.uk Introduction Welcome to the London Canal Museum's audio tour of the Regent's Canal between Camden and Islington tunnel. This walk is wheelchair accessible. If you are starting from Camden Town tube station, follow the signs to Camden lock. Leaving the station from the right-hand exit as you come up the escalator, turn right and follow the road along until you have passed over the first bridge. Then walk down onto the towpath. The tour starts at the Hampstead Road Locks, so pause the tour, if necessary, and resume when you are overlooking the lock next to Camden High Street. The Regent's canal is just over 8 and a half miles long. That's thirteen and a half kilometres, linking the Grand Junction Canal at Paddington to the Thames at Limehouse. Over its length the canal drops 86 feet, or 26 metres, through 12 locks followed by a ship lock. The canal was built between 1812 and 1820, with a pause in construction from 1815 to 1817 due to funding difficulties. An 1817 government loan of £200,000 was crucial to the building work restarting. The oblique bridge that you can see down the canal was constructed to take horses across the canal so that they could avoid the basins that used to be here.
