London’s answer to New York’s High Line is scrapped

Project organisers say high costs and the energy crisis have scuppered planned green route from Camden to King’s Cross

The Camden Highline, a multimillion-pound effort to transform a disused rail line into a greenery-filled walking and cycling paradise, has been all but scrapped.

Nearly a decade since it was conceived as London’s answer to New York’s fabled High Line, the project has fallen victim to high costs and the energy crisis.
