Yes, Camden!
The newly-installed road crossing, in the colors of the Trans Flag, was unveiled on the corner of Tavistock Place and Marchmont Street and is designed “to make a clear statement that everyone is welcome in Camden”.
Danny Beales, cabinet member for Investing in Communities, Culture and an Inclusive Economy, said it was “an honour” to be involved in making the crossing happen.
