Vote for your favourite London engineering triumph and win goodies

We all miss London at the moment. The views from the capital’s bridges, the bustling city squares, even the thrum and throttle of our beloved public transport system.

Yet while much of the city’s infrastructure seems to be on pause, it’s still possible to show your support for the latest London innovations thanks to the Institution of Civil Engineers' annual London People’s Choice award. From six-storey subterranean warrens in Mayfair to flood-proofing town centres in Hillingdon, each of 2020’s 10 shortlisted projects displays innovation, improvements and ingenious solutions.

Here are some of our favourite contenders, but who gets the crown? That's up to you! Click through for the full shortlist and cast your vote by Monday 18 May to be in with a chance of winning a commemorative book, goody bag and, excitingly, a private tour of the Institution's headquarters at the beautiful One Great George Street (when safe to do so, of course). The winning project will be announced over on Londonist.com after the closing date.

Sewer Through a Keyhole

Sandwiched between busy Marylebone Road and Baker Street tube station, improvements to this Victorian sewer needed a smart solution. Keyhole engineering was employed to repair the 2.1 metre tall tunnel from the inside, all while keeping thousands of Londoners oblivious to its existence.
Rain Gardens in Hillingdon

What do you do when a town’s topography puts it at risk of flooding? Introduce rain gardens, of course! That’s what Eastcote in the London Borough of Hillingdon did on a large scale to provide the town with a sustainable drainage system. Reduced risk and biodiversity benefit. Win-win.

White Hart Lane Upgrade

A shiny, modern exterior isn’t the only thing that’s new about this recently revamped railway station in Tottenham. Low-level glazing, reduction in blind corners and a new station forecourt actively tackle anti-social behaviour, while the introduction of two lifts offers a step-free route direct from street level to platform.
5-Star Subterranean Splendour

Space is at a premium in Mayfair, so when faced with a need to enhance the hotel’s services, Claridge's went underground. Six storeys underground! You wouldn’t know from the outside, but the world-famous hotel now boasts a subterranean spa, 20 metre swimming pool, wine cellar, restaurant and retail space, all forged while the hotel was fully operational.
