City of London Pedway Scheme

About

The City of London Pedway Scheme is a largely elevated pedway network that evolved out of a plan to transform traffic flows in the City of London by separating pedestrians from street level traffic using elevated walkways. First devised as part of the post World War II reconstruction plans for London, it was put into effect mainly from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, with expansion slowing in the 1980s. The scheme was partially revived in 2017 when a new section of walkway was added as part of a development in London Wall.
