Section 4





The Sky Walk in Section 4 will need to stay above  the rail. There is little scope to extend to the side.

This section is high density building. However there is scope for green spaces, marked in green on the model. Blue is entrance points.

I think the more entrances the better, there is lots of potential for this. It will ensure that areas that are currently underused/ in need of regen have increased footflow that might lead to interest and investment.

The area around Borough Market is already very attractive and vibrant, an entrance here would be very well utilised. There is space for an entrance in the market.

There is an existing roof between the railwaybridges at the marker. This creates a very attractive and useable space underneath. Definetlley something to consider.

Where Red Cross Street meets Southwark Street there are a number of buildings that could be demolished to create green space.

At Flat Iron Square facing Southwark Bridge Road existing square area. Could be a flagship skywalk entrance. Huge development potential. Larger entrances could have bike lifts, others just have smaller stair case and disabled lift.

Near America street, there is no existing green space or street trees, a number of architecture firms however. Could this become a design district?

Off Union Street ( opposite 169 Union Street) great potential for green space, large area currently car park ad storage. Flat roofs on buildings here - green roof sites that will be visible from skywalk?

Along Union Street to Great Suffolk Street could become an art district? Existing galleries and abandoned warehouses.

Down Great Suffolk Street 3 railbridges of different heights. Different levels to Sky walk? could be very intereseting. A huge tunnel and arch system under bridges currently Union Car Park, Could be an amazing space.
