A year ago, we published a new network for London -- the first to prioritise walking.
Since then, our online map has been used 700k+ times and thousands have picked up printed copies by @urbangoodcic.
It's now time for Footways #2
Today we are announcing new partners encouraging customers and staff to walk to their central London locations. Get in touch if you want to be part of this movement towards healthy, sustainable and enjoyable transport. 3/
And thanks to our borough partners for the improvements being made for people walking. Keep it coming! Here are people enjoying recent changes on Monmouth Street in @CamdenCouncil and Cheapside in @cityoflondon 4/

2. King's Cross was designed by Cubitt to be simple and functional. It sits in stark contrast to the elaborate St Pancras next door, built 15 years later.
