Falcon Road Bridge AJ Architecture Award Shortlisting

19th August 2026

Falcon Road Bridge has been shortlisted for an AJ Architecture Award 2026 in the Landscape & Public Realm category!

Our #LFA competition winning team worked closely with the Wandsworth community to transform the dark, unwelcoming underpass into a vibrant landmark at the heart of Clapham Junction. The project combines public art, lighting and planting to create a safer, greener and more welcoming route that celebrates the people and places that give Wandsworth its identity.

The shortlisting reflects our belief that the most successful architecture often begins with what is already there, renewing existing places through collaboration, craft and a deep understanding of the people who use them.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring the project to life: London Borough of Wandsworth, GPAD, POoR Collective, MRG Studio, Smiling Wolf, Sutton Vane Associates, AJ Wells, Cundall, MDA, Network Rail, the Community of Wandsworth
