Our aims for Hoxton

We’re making improvements to Hoxton’s streets and public spaces. These changes aim to:

Local people said they want us to:

The Hoxton regeneration framework shows our vision for the neighbourhood. It brings together:

the Connecting Hoxton strategy (PDF 26.9mb)
the Hoxton socio-economic insight study (PDF 5.5mb)
feedback from co-design events with residents, businesses, community and cultural organisations

From co-design events, we’ve created priorities for Hoxton:

strengthen Hoxton’s identity and make sure local people have a say in changes to their neighbourhood
create a successful and affordable market street
celebrate organisations and businesses that deliver social value in Hoxton
support younger and older people in the area
improve pedestrian areas
make better use of Hoxton’s green spaces

The Greater London Authority’s Civic Partnership Programme has given us £3 million to make these changes.

So far we’ve:

improved the entrance to Hoxton Community Garden
improved the green spaces around Geffrye Estate by planting trees, herbs and flowers, and adding bee posts, bug hotels and log piles
installed public art on the blank wall facing Falkirk Street
made more improvements to Hoxton Community Garden by widening the paths and improving the fencing

We’re going to:

replace and extend the pavement outside Shoreditch Library, view the works notification (PDF 1.1mb)
improve the green spaces around Cordelia House by planting new trees, herbs and hedges
introduce electric power for market events and food stalls, and a new colour scheme for gazebos
improve the streets around Hoxton Hall, repaving outside the entrance and making it easier to cross the road, view the works diagram (PDF 1.4mb)
improve signage to help people get around
plant trees on Hoxton Street and in other areas nearby

We’d like your feedback on some other changes we’d like to make in Hoxton.

These include proposals to:

reduce traffic in Hoxton Street, Falkirk Street, Crondall Street, Stanway Street and Fanshaw Street and prevent vehicles taking short-cuts along important walking and cycling routes
create a School Street outside St Monica’s Catholic Primary School – this means most traffic will not be allowed to drive on the street during school drop-off and pick-up hours on school days during term times
