Overview

Brewery Wharf


Twickenham, UK

Project type: New Urban Quarter
Location: Twickenham, UK
Client: St James
Stage: Completed
Programme: 2011–ongoing

Brewery Wharf sits within a prominent location on the northern approach to the town centre.

When operations at Twickenham Sorting Office ended over five years ago the site became unoccupied, presenting a unique opportunity for regeneration.

The site is located between the railway on one side and the River Crane on the other. The brief called for a high quality, residential and mixed-use development which enhances this important part of Twickenham and integrates well with the surrounding area.

“
This is an important gateway site and we need to get it right – congratulations to St James on the quality of the proposals.

Project Delivery

  • A Community Planning Process to develop a Vision for the site including the facilitation of a Community Planning Weekend and a programme of Community Forum meetings.

  • Commercial, leisure and community uses creating an active frontage onto London Road.
  • Significant community space including a bespoke youth facility with the flexibility to be used by community groups for a range of activities.
  • Public access to new areas of open space by connecting the riverside walk and completing the green corridor along the River Crane.
  • A wetland area to incorporate sustainable urban drainage and surface water attenuation.
