Braham Street Park emerged from the closing of Braham Street, formally a busy London road. The park was designed by EDCO Design London with input from Wilkinson Eyre Architects, opened to the public in 2010 and is part of the Mayor of London’s Great Outdoors programme.The park is linear in nature and connects the busy one way vehicular Leman Street and Mansell Street. The park is composed of three paved areas and two grassed areas.
