Historically London Bridge has been the gateway to the capital. My scheme proposes a park supported from and running the length of the London Bridge. The park will create a new pedestrian route into the city and reconnect the surrounding area and its existing transport network with the river. On the southerly end of the park, a brewery and market will form a sheltered meeting space for commuters, tourists, and local residents. The market brewery is composed of an array of naturally ventilated structural ceramic towers and light wells. The brewery will brew beer flavored from hops grown on the park.
