Camberwell Station Road
JA Projects and an interdisciplinary team has worked alongside Southwark Council, the GLA and local stakeholders, to transform a vibrant Camberwell neighbourhood into an even better place to live, work and visit.
Local community participation has been central to this commission. We‘ve conducted numerous walkabouts, knocked on every door along the road, and met online and in person with local residents, businesses and community groups. Through these conversations three key themes emerged:
a street for all
connecting Camberwell Station Road
making good impressions
JA Projects also facilitated a series of co-design workshops with young people, culminating in a walking tour co-created by voices from Sacred Hearts School (SHS) and the Southwark Young Advisors, who prepared an inspirational tour sharing the issues and articulating the vision, including the desire to:
enhance green spaces
produce an inclusive and diverse street
celebrate Camberwell Station
support local mechanics and industry
