Nestled underneath the steelwork is a timber-framed box that serves as an information point, ticket booth and shop. Designed to troubleshoot challenges caused by large numbers of people arriving simultaneously for one event, this kiosk provides Bold Tendencies with much-needed space for staff. It also acts as a hub for the Bold Everywhere educational programme.

Like much of our work, Peckham Observatory really comes to life when people occupy the space. Commissioned by Bold Tendencies as part of its annual arts programme there, the Observatory provides visitors with a fresh take on the city as well as the activities and artworks on site.

A 3.5m-wide, 32m-long raised platform spans the entire width of the car park, its locally-sourced, steel support beams cantilevered at both ends. Two staircases at either side provide an elevated promenade with access to unencumbered views of London.

The deck and steps are made of full-width hardwood timber decking, and timber handrails on the upper level are angled to provide natural places to lean and rest.
