Old Oak Lane
Exemplar access to the Grand Union Canal, for the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation.

The junction between the Grand Union Canal towpath and Old Oak Lane was identified as a key opportunity in DK-CM’s Canal Placemaking Study. We were subsequently commissioned to design the new access in detail and the project, to achieve exemplar canal access from the wider public realm, is currently on site.
