London's going to have a park in the sky, similar to the New York Highline.

In the same way, the new green area will follow a former railway line.

Simon Pitkeathley's in charge of the Camden Highline.

Getting the project started has required five long years, and cost more than a million pounds.

Planners, designers, politicians and local people have come together to make it work and it's recently received planning permission.

The park will run alongside a used railway, but the peace and beauty of the place will be protected by a wall.

The plan is to grow trees, plants and flowers and special wildlife-friendly environments will be built.

There'll also be several places to sit and enjoy the area.

As approximately £35 million is needed, it's hoped that the public will be generous, but some locals are worried by the cost and the small size of the park.

However, other locals feel positive.

Bringing the countryside into Camden will allow both Londoners and tourists to see the city from a different angle.

And that sounds like a perfect plan.
