1516-1131 Archway Park Landscape Improvement Works

This project involves the redevelopment of Archway Park, N19 in the London Borough of Islington.

Archway Park is bordered by residential estates to the east. There are mixed residential and office development to the West and South of the site of Archway and St Johns Way. Archway Park is currently underused and the purpose to this project is to improve the quality of the park and includes a new playground facility and soft and hard landscape improvements. There will also be a requirement to improve lighting, drainage works and the installation of street furniture. There are also significant tree works to be undertaken on site, which will require a sensitive approach to phasing and site controls.
