The transformation of the Joe Strummer subway into the Marylebone Flyover rain gardens is an innovative response to urban flooding, using green solutions to enhance the environment.
Will Norman highlighted the rain gardens' purpose by referencing The Clash's song 'London Calling', emphasizing the need for sustainable solutions to prevent urban flooding in London.
After remodelling the junction for safer pedestrian crossings, Transport for London created the sustainable drainage systems to mitigate flooding and improve ecological diversity in the city.
Robert Gordon McHarg shared that Joe Strummer's legacy in the subway was honored through the new signage, recalling how Strummer used to perform there, connecting music and community.
