***Tour moved to 4 November***
Join acclaimed urban designer Clare Wilks (LDA Design) on a walk down one of Bristol’s most iconic streets in the heart of the city to hear about the vision for the future.
Dating back to the 17th century, King Street has a significant historical and architectural legacy that reflects the city’s past as a thriving maritime and trading hub. The street dates back to the medieval era and contains many of the city’s most famous heritage buildings, including Bristol Old Vic and the Llandoger Trow.
The process of revitalising one of Bristol’s most renowned streets started after a successful push for pedestrianisation. Through collaboration with LDA Design, the artist selected for the public art commission, local organisations, and the community, King Street has been transformed into a car-free zone spanning its entire length. This has created a fresh open area that serves as a social hub in the city centre, with increased space for outdoor seating in public areas and greening improvements, bolstering Bristol’s post-Covid economic recovery. This shift aims to create a more convenient and enjoyable environment for individuals on foot or on bicycles.
