Wandsworth Gasworks in South London
12 Jan 2023
Architecture: shedkm
Location: Wandsworth, London, UK

220 Queenstown Road
A planning application for Wandsworth Gasworks ? a new, mixed use, mixed tenure, sustainable community in the heart of Wandsworth that celebrates its connection to the River Wandle ? has been submitted by Common Projects, on behalf of joint venture SGN Mitheridge Ltd, with master planner shedkm.

The proposed landscape-led masterplan offers a unique riverside character, inspired by the history and heritage of Wandsworth, with high quality public realm for all. It will create around 640 homes, including senior living and 35% affordable housing in buildings ranging from 10 to 30 storeys, amongst bars, coffee shops and commercial and cultural spaces. They are set alongside a lush, new riverside park, with 200m of the River Wandle, formerly inaccessible, opened up for the first time.
The site is in the centre of Wandsworth, just five minutes from Wandsworth Town station, and is well connected by road and on the cycle superhighway. The redevelopment of the gasworks site will open up key new connections between the town, the station and the Thames Riverside.
The full collaborative team includes MAX Architects, Carmody Groarke, BD Landscape Architects, Atelier Ten and Whitby Wood Engineers.
