New shared space on Gordon Square opens 8 May

This project led by Camden Council, with UCL as a funding partner, forms a key piece of the council's investigations to pedestrianise Gordon Street. The full project includes the change of use for the road, a design which includes new cycle lanes as well as the installation of plants and street furniture to enhance the public realm and forms a component of Camden Council’s Bloomsbury Green Corridor, within the Draft New Camden Local Plan (2024).

UCL, working with Camden Council, has embraced the transformation of this space as a key part of the campus preparations to support the Bicentennial celebrations at UCL in 2026 and is confident that this transformation will enhance the local area for our students, residents, and visitors.

According to Kevin MacDonald, Director, UCL Institute of Archaeology:

“The UCL Institute of Archaeology is incredibly excited to have the area immediately outside of our building transformed into a vibrant pedestrianized space, with links to the wider Camden Council Green Corridor."
