The London Borough of Camden Council has shared its latest sketch ideas for the transformational Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood, working in partnership with Transport for London.
Councillor Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden said:
“We have long wanted to give Holborn the investment it deserves. This major project invests in the area to make it safer to get about, greener and less polluted. We want to transform Holborn into a place for people with attractive, healthy, accessible and safe streets for everyone, with cleaner air and more plants and trees, in new and improved spaces.
“To achieve this, in 2024 we announced plans for further enhancements and launched the Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood scheme, engaging with residents, businesses and community groups to better understand how they would like to see the Holborn area.
“We have also already brought in a number of permanent transport safety improvements over the last few years.”
The council engaged with over 1,050 people and received over 3,000 useful insights through a combination of focus groups, pop up sessions and online responses, including a range of focused conversations with people with vision impairments, sensory and physical disabilities.
Feedback included a request for well-maintained new public spaces, that are inclusive and accessible but also creative and unique to the area. Respondents also asked that we provide information and evidence that any plans will not negatively impact on traffic in the wider area.
Councillor Harrison added:
“I would like to thank everyone who has shared their feedback so far on our ideas to make Holborn a place for people, with safer streets for pedestrians and people cycling, more trees and plants and cleaner air.
“All your comments have helped to shape a new set of sketches, which you can now explore and comment on online on our commonplace website.
“This conversation will run until February 2026, so there is plenty of time to provide your feedback, ideas and thoughts and we will continue to improve and develop our plans based on this ahead of a more detailed full public consultation scheduled for Autumn 2026.”
