New Garden Bridge for London



Plans for a new pedestrian garden bridge for London.

Could happen, no less than Joanna Lumley is backing it.

    I've heard about this but this is the first picture I've seen of it. Interesting! I had lunch on HQS Wellington (just behind it) before Christmas. It's going to spoil their view a bit (HQ of the Worshipful Company of Master Mariners).

      It does look quite interesting. I'm all for greening London.

    And they need to be careful about the rooting aspects of the things they choose to plant (so as not to over stress the civil engineering), as well as ruthlessly culling out of spec volunteer species and random stuff planted by the public.

    But yes, there is an engineering solution to every problem, although I'm not entirely sure what problem they are trying to solve here...

    Interesting concept - there seems to be a growing trend of wanting to put 'gardens' on top of buildings, and now bridges now, it seems. Where will it end?
    I quite like the idea though, bringing some much needed greenery and 'life' to the concrete jungle...

      English cities tend to be very 'green'. London from the air is quite a revelation.
