Wayfinding Scheme for Hampstead High Street using Legible London signage

Overview

We are writing to seek your views on the Council’s proposal to place Legible London signs on Hampstead High Street.

The Consultation document along with the location plan can be found HERE

Legible London is a Transport for London led signage that has become the London standard for clear mapping and directional information. Legible London signage has become part of the London’s streetscape and has been used in key conservation areas such as Bloomsbury, Westminster and Kensington. In Camden we have installed these signs across the borough for the last eight years with areas including Fitzrovia, Covent Garden, Kings Cross, Belsize Park and Camden Town.

Hampstead is a key tourist destination in the borough and the aim of these signs would be to improve directional information for visitors and promote a wider scope of local attractions. Providing better signage supports Camden and London-wide policies to encourage walking, by providing clear mapping, walking distance information and destinations in the local area.
