Mayor of London Boris Johnson has backed a plan to turn disused railway tracks in Peckham, SE15, into an elevated park to mimic New York’s High Line.
The Peckham Coal Line will get a £10,000 investment from the mayor’s office as part of its High Street Fund to improve town centres.
The line will run between Queens Road and Peckham Rye train stations in a 1km park.
Johnson’s funding will pay for a feasibility study into the plans.
