Makeover by Camille Walala, 2020
Adams Plaza Bridge (Crossrail Place footbridge)
Adams Plaza, Canary Wharf
London, May 2023
“The airport-style footbridge at Canary Wharf connecting to the future Elizabeth line station has been given a brightly coloured makeover. The makeover was carried out by the East London based French artist Camille Walala, and is intended to be a permanent display. The design sees the bridge wrapped in bold geometric shapes and colours, and the intention is that the display will change as daylight and darkness filters through to alter the visuals inside the structure. In addition to the daylight coming in from the sides, the sidebars have lights in them, and these are also now tinted colours along the footbridge. The long length of the bridge also changes hue as you walk along from blues graduating to brighter oranges. It’s going to be popping up on your instagram feed as the new hot selfie spot as soon as the lockdown ends. Do look for the artist’s name in the design as well – by the southern end of the tunnel.” (A multicoloured makeover for Crossrail Place footbridge, IanVisits)
