The Lewisham High Line
90% of all marketing brainstorms go like this: "Buzzfeed... mummy bloggers... infographic... pop-up... 'what if we do something a bit like the High Line in New York - you know, that green railway track in the sky? Ooh yes, I love that. Let's do one of those.'"
99.9% of the time, those dreams die on the flip chart, before ever they see the light of day. But not in Lewisham - this is the borough where dreams take flight.

We know this is the second rather mundane photo of the #ModelMarket project that we've run articles about in recent days, but when someone plans to build 'Lewisham's answer to the High Line', well that makes them modern day versions of Octavia Hill.
