New page

The Garden Bridge project, providing a new pedestrianised bridge across the River Thames, has come in for much criticism on account of its procurement process, lack of necessity and escalating costs. In July 2016, the architect Crispin Wride revealed his alternative concept to Thomas Heatherwick’s design.

Wride, of Crispin Wride Architects Design Studio Ltd. (CWADS), has proposed a garden crossing that would utilise the existing piers that stand redundant between Blackfriars Road Bridge and the Station Bridge.
