A traffic-free zone in Camden Town aims to create a healthier, more vibrant area, starting with a launch on May 3, 2025. Marked by The Big Street Party, this initiative is part of a year-long cultural program, Camden at 60. The pedestrianisation trial receives financial support from the Mayor's London Air Quality Fund, with additional funding from Transport for London. Over 70% of public consultation participants favor the high street's pedestrianisation, promising ongoing reviews and potential permanent changes depending on its impact.
Councillor Sabrina Francis stated that "Camden at 60: The Big Street Party is our amazing opportunity to show everyone how we have been able to reclaim this busy street, with its iconic markets, music venues, and businesses, and make the most out of this new public space."
Councillor Adam Harrison highlighted that "At peak times there can be as many as 40,000 people on the high street, creating significant overcrowding and a stressful experience."
