Stratford Town Centre Link wins AT Award 2025

14 years after opening, we’re delighted that Stratford Town Centre Link has been recognised for its continued relevance and long-term impact at the Architecture Today Awards (Infrastructure & Public Realm category).

Completed ahead of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this 130-metre pedestrian bridge — London’s first “street in the sky” — connects Stratford Station, Westfield Stratford City, and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Spanning one of the capital’s busiest railway corridors, the bridge was designed for longevity, with a 120-year lifespan and a focus on durability and low maintenance.

Delivered with Buro Happold, the bridge continues to serve as a vital link and a defining part of Stratford’s public realm.

A big thank you to Architecture Today for a wonderful evening celebrating design that stands the test of time.
