London’s South Bank will undergo a £4m makeover to make it more easily accessible to visitors in time for the Olympics, with the works due to benefit the area’s restaurants, cafes and bars.
Accessibility will be improved accross a two-mile stretch of the Thames riverside
The development work is part of a larger project by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to improve access to some of London’s key attractions, particularly for those who have special accessibility needs.
The £220m Great Outdoors programme aims to improve over 50 of the capital’s public spaces in time for the Olympic Games next year. The measures include redesigned streets, which can be shared by both pedestrians and vehicles, reclaimed derelict green spaces and underused waterways.
Conducted in conjunction with local councils, businesses and residents’ groups, the development work aims to promote use of London’s attractions as well as its restaurants, cafes, bars and shops.
Olympics legacy
"London is such an extraordinary place to visit with something different around every corner and the South Bank is no exception. Every year millions explore its many attractions stretching from Jubilee Gardens along to Borough market and beyond,” said Boris Johnson.
“Historically and by the nature of the way this swathe of riverside has developed over the centuries it has never been the easiest area to navigate for visitors, especially those with accessibility needs.
“By making some simple but crucial changes to its streets and wider public realm we will make it considerably more accessible in time for the London Games. What better legacy than to use this opportunity to open up this fantastic area for anyone and everyone to enjoy."
