London is one step closer to having its own Highline, known as the Camden Highline, which aims to transform 1.2 km of old railway tracks into a walking attraction. The proposed route will run from Camden Gardens to York Way, near St Pancras station, and it is hoped it could attract about 2.5 million visitors annually.

The Camden High Line charity is now seeking donors to help it raise the initial cost of £14 million for this phase, which includes the creation of a high-level garden on a viaduct, commercial kiosks in some arches, seating, a pedestrian walkway, event spaces, and a woodland balcony.
