Public space

48% of the site’s area will be dedicated to creating new public realm for everyone to enjoy.

The proposals create two new public squares at the heart of Old Street Quarter, each with its own distinct character.

Play Garden to the west

The Play Garden will provide a greener, quieter space with landscaping and opportunities for play, creating a place for local residents to relax.
