Jubilee Gardens Future, South Bank London


London's South Bank is highly recognisable for its performing Arts and events. This is mostly due to the London Eye, Hayward Gallery and the Royal Festival Hall. But as a key location that it is, Jubilee Gardens has been left behind the times.

This is all to change with the proposal by West8 to create a new renovation of Jubilee Gardens which will offer London a spectacular green public space along the Thames.

Jubilee Gardens will be a new focal point on the South Bank, elevated from the street level the park will be seperated from the London eye but will offer the most awarding views of London. The design represents a combination of the romantic green surface and the sharp and rough white edges which corespond to the white cliffs of Dover. This will act as an iconic english landmark on which is a landscape icon to be easily identified. The design is set to begin later this year.
