Peckham Observatory, 2017

Built in 2017 the Peckham Observatory provides new perspectives on our on-site commissions as well as breathtaking views across London. From the Observatory visitors can take in the works of art and activities taking place on the roof of the car park.

The 3.5m-wide raised platform spans the entire width of the car park, its steel support beams cantilevered at both ends. Two staircases at either side provide an elevated promenade and on the northern tip the balustrade drops away at the half-landing to provide views out and across London. Nestled underneath the steelwork is a timber-framed Information Kiosk painted dark blue.
