We are working across London to provide ambitious improvements to the network of public spaces, from the doorstep to the street, parks and landscapes.
Design for London is working with partners to improve the quality of environment and access to the River Shuttle, a tributary of the River Cray in south-east London.
The River Shuttle rises at Avery Hill and Eltham and runs predominantly through Bexley. Like many London rivers it has been turned into a canal and is heavily degraded.
Design for London and partners commissioned East with Royal Haskoning to undertake a study of the river and to prepare a set of proposals for implementation. These include improved access, enhanced biodiversity, improved water quality, flood alleviation and the development of an integrated river maintenance plan.
Partners: Natural England, London Borough of Bexley
